Origin (per wikipedia): Southern Cross is based on the song Seven League Boots by Rick and Michael Curtis. Stills explained, The Curtis Brothers brought a wonderful song called Seven League Boots, but it drifted around too much. I rewrote a new set of words and added a different chorus, a story about a long boat trip I took after my divorce (his first wife, singer-songwriter Véronique Sanson). Its about using the power of the universe to heal your wounds. Once again, I was given somebodys gem and cut and polished it. - Stephen Stills Got out of town on a boat Goin to Southern islands. Sailing a reach Before a followin sea. She was makin for the trades On the outside, And the downhill run To Papeete. Off the wind on this heading Lie the Marquesas. We got eighty feet of the waterline. Nicely making way. In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you. But on a midnight watch I realized Why twice you ran away. Chorus Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices callin. What heaven brought you and me Cannot be forgotten. I have been around the world, Lookin for that woman/girl, Who knows love can endure. And you know it will. And you know it will. When you see the Southern Cross For the first time You understand now Why you came this way Cause the truth you might be runnin from Is so small. But its as big as the promise The promise of a comin day. So Im sailing for tomorrow My dreams are a dyin. And my love is an anchor tied to you Tied with a silver chain. I have my ship And all her flags are a flyin She is all that I have left And music is her name. Chorus Think about how many times I have fallen Spirits are using me larger voices callin. What heaven brought you and me Cannot be forgotten. I have been around the world, Lookin for that woman/girl, Who knows love can endure. And you know it will. And you know it will. So we cheated and we lied And we tested And we never failed to fail It was the easiest thing to do. You will survive being bested. Somebody fine Will come along Make me forget about loving you. At the Southern Cross. https://youtube/watch?v=0cBsnopTVmo
