Couplet
Got out of Gtown on a Fboat gon' to southern Cislands.
Sailing a Greach Fbefore a following Csea.
She was Gmaking for the Ftrades on the Coutside,
And the Gdownhill Frun to PaCpeete.
Off the Gwind on this Fheading lie the CMarquesas.
We got Geighty feet of Fwaterline Cnicely Ammaking Gway.
In a Gnoisy bar in FAvalon, I tried to Ccall you,
But on a Gmidnight watch I Frealized why Ctwice you Amran aGway. (Gthink about)
Refrain
FThink about how Cmany times FI have Gfallen.
FSpirits are Cusing me; Flarger voices Gcallin'.
FWhat heaven brought Cyou and me Fcannot be forGgotten.
I have been CaFround the Gworld, Clookin' for that Fwoman-Ggirl
Who Cknows love Fcan enGdure.
And you know it Gwill.

Couplet
When you Gsee the Southern FCross for the Cfirst time,
You Gunderstand now Fwhy you came this Cway.
'Cause the Gtruth you might be Frunnin' from is Cso small,
But it's as Gbig as the Fpromise, the Cpromise of a Amcomin' Gday.
So I'm Gsailing for Ftomorrow. My dreams are a-Cdying.
And my Glove is an Fanchor tied to you, Ctied with a Amsilver Gchain.
I have my ship, and Fall her flags are a-Cflying.
She is Gall that I have Fleft, and Cmusic Amis her Gname. (Gthink about)
Refrain
FThink about how Cmany times FI have Gfallen.
FSpirits are Cusing me; Flarger voices Gcallin'.
FWhat heaven brought Cyou and me Fcannot be forGgotten.
I have been CaFround the Gworld, Clookin' for that Fwoman-Ggirl
Who Cknows love Fcan enGdure.
And you know it Gwill.

Couplet
So we Gcheated and we Flied and we Ctested.
And we Gnever failed to Ffail; it was the Ceasiest Amthing to Gdo.
GYou will Fsurvive being Cbested.
GSomebody fine will Fcome along make me Cforget about Amloving Gyou
In the Southern Cross.
