Hopper from N AmericaThanks Ken from Sacramento for your comments, which helped me and others I'm sure, to imagine the route SS described.Lisa Farrington from 92211Most romantic tune of the decade!.Love the simplicity of the chord changes in this song too. This song will always hold a place in my heart. Not quite the Southern Cross, but immaculate star imagery. This one has memories for me, because I introduced my now wife to the CSN sound with this song on vacation in Hawaii. Mister_mojo_risin from Atlanta UsaSo many interpretations of this song.I know it an extra word and doesn’t follow the rule of we lied and we tested, but I still think I’m correct. I think they sing…So we WERE cheated and we lied and we tested… Mike from New YorkI disagree with lyrics written on the last stanza…listen carefully….Avalon is a city on Santa Catalina Island in California Papeete Bay and the Marquesas are locations in French Polynesia in the southern Pacific. Will from MichiganYou can see the southern cross as far north as Hawaii on the southern horizon for six months.The best you can do is sail at a 45 degree angle into the wind. You can't sail directly into the wind or your sails will luff. When you sail perpendicular to the wind it's called a reach, and when you're sailing into the wind it's called a beat. Will from MichiganThe phrase downhill run refers to sailing in the same direction as the wind.Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind Publisher: MUSIC SALES CORPORATION, Wixen Music Publishing

Writer/s: Michael Curtis, Richard Curtis, Stephen Stills Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you I have been around the world (I have been around the world)Īnd we never failed to fail it was the easiest thing to do She is all that I have left and music is her name I have my ship and all her flags are a-flyin' So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a-dyin'Īnd my love is an anchor tied to you (tied with a silver chain) 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so smallīut it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time Who knows she knows (who knows love can endure) What Heaven brought you and me cannot be forgottenĪround the world (I have been around the world) Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'

In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call youīut on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas She was makin' for the trades on the outside Got out of town on a boat goin' to Southern Islands
