  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

  S2:
  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, think about 
• GGGADDGAGADGA
  B1:
  Think about how many times I have fallen 

  Spirits are using me, larger voices calling 

  What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten

  R1:
  I have been around the world  

  Lookin' for that woman girl 

  Who knows love can endure, and you know it will

  S3:
  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 it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

  S4:
  So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a-dying 

  And my love is an anchor tied to you (tied with a silver chain) 

  I have my ship and all her flags are a-flying 

  She is all that I have left and music is her name, think about
