Dan Mccafferty - Southern Cross lyrics

Rocking through the night

All is silent...southern cross

It's easy for me to write

Even though I wonder...

But I feel nothing seems lost

We're still full of hope

Although the trip is grinding

What can I say

Remember how we talked about

A world that's free

It may be hard to find

The land where war and hatred ceased to be

And the ship is sailing on across the ocean

We said farewell to yesterday

But in a year and one more day

You'll read the headlines everywhere

About the daring messengers

Who found an island in the sea

Untouched by misery

I'm wearing your bandanna

Your picture's in my mind

Well concealed

And the vision of your face

Is never far away no no

It's always with me

So your smile is my companian

Till I'm back with you again

We said farewell to yesterday

But in a year and one more day

You'll raed the news throughout the land

About some new-age emigrants

Who found an island in the sea

Untouched by misery

The ship sailed on...course: south-westpassing "cape harn" heading

Far the pacific ocean... no storm no damage to it's body could stop

It on it's way. . . but the destination was still so far away

They had sailed for almost four months and four days...
