Southern Cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash (lyrics) HD

peace2u! eric

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
Think about
Think about how many times I have fallen
Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
Around the world (I have been around the world)
Lookin' (lookin' for that woman girl)
Who knows she knows (who knows love can endure)
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 it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day
So I'm 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
Think about
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 (I have been around the world)
Lookin' (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
And the southern cross

I am a daughter of the Revolution and The Confederate. And I am also a Natve American, Cherokee. God bless this nation.

[bruscifer]

Is this a masterpiece? YES IT IS! Who agrees?

I love this song ❤ Reminds me of my youth. I'm a 70's girl! The absolutely best era!!!

[GeorgetteMascia]

I was engaged to my first Love 💕 when this came out . Music will never be the same as in the 60’s-70’ and 80’s . That’s when they meant something. ❤😊

[carolhancock]

I'm here listening in March 2025. There is a comfort in going back in time when music like this was playing on the radio. Life was good, less complicated. It makes me smile. 😊

[rhondaenglish]

They don't make music so beautiful today. Sweet lyrics to all precious children still singing these songs. Thankyou. ❤❤❤.

[Jeff-tb]

Some of the best music ever written, just love these old tunes. Rock On people.

[dixiesteinbach]

Probably my favorite song in my 72 years

[boa]

CSN&Y, I never listened to when I was younger, as I got older I love their songs, this is one of my favorites, I'm 59 years old now. Whoever is listening to this song, God Bless You and enjoy your life 🙏.

[TomJones-pmps]

This music is the best music, that will never be made again. 🇺🇸✌️😎

[christophersallee]

Back when people knew how to sing and play real instruments!!! Love it!!! True talent!!!

[robertlee]

"She was making for the trades...on the outside, and the downhill run to Papeete bay"...what fantastic lyrics...

[mrright]

Jesus has said that he doesn't want passive followers but those who will go forth and proclaim his good work and God's glory. Thank you all who have done that here and keep spreading the word of God!

[fraps]

"I've been around the world looking" Love is like a special commodity it happens only once maybe twice in a lifetime, don't waste it.

[marianashmead]

I come here over and over. This is my song.

[montyjackson]

These are the kind of Musicians we need at this time in history. I found one of their songs I had forgotten about Chicago gave me the chills because that is what we are about to face.

[danielcase]

True singers and songwriters never to be forgotten.

[Knightwing]

Incredible song!!! Always gives me goosebumps.

[Lizzypoohxo]

My sister in laws make fun of me for listening to CSN&Y. I dont care though because to me theres no sound more beautiful than perfectly harmonized vocals and music. Its simply magestic to listen to and always a perfect time.

[Little_Muskrat]

This is such a beautiful, peaceful song alone, yet with nature footage included, lifts up a person's soul. Thank You Jesus, for all You have Created and for Your Sacrificial death and resurrection on the cross at Calvary, to purchase Eternal Life for all who believe in and trust You for Salvation. ✝️☝️⬆️💯
