Dan McCafferty - Southern Cross

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-West, passing "Cape Harn" heading far the Pacific Ocean... no storm no damage to its body could stop it on its way. . . But the destination was still so far away They had sailed for almost four months and four days...
