Southern Cross

There's a phantom in my house

And it haunts my better half now

It's quiet as a mouse

But that's what drives her mad

I'm on the flipside of the world

And I believe there is a reason

So look down on my girl

Just while I'm over here

'Cuz one thing gives me comfort when I'm gone

That God You are the same from Wellington to Maine

Southern cross in the sky

Burn a picture in my eye

So I'll always remember when I'm home

Southern cross

Every time I cross that old date line

I'll play this little song for Southern crosses

There's a longing in my heart

To be a better person

But when I play the part

No one believes a word

So it's amazing every time

I'm received with open arms

No matter what the crime

Somebody throws a net

And I swear I won't forget

Southern cross in the sky

Burn a picture in my eye

So I'll always remember when I'm home

Southern cross

Every time I cross that old date line

I'll play this little song for Southern crosses

For all my Southern friends under the cross
