about

This is another song about long distance relationships. Inspired by my time sailing under a different view of the celestial sky than my husband, I was seeing things like the Southern Cross in the Southern Hemisphere, whilst my husband was sailing in the Northern Hemisphere, this song was born.

lyrics

Somewhere under the southern cross,
I am sailing, sailing, sailing
Somewhere under Polaris
You are sailing, sailing, sailing

And the back breaking winds may blow
And may the mighty thunder clap,
As under the moon the seas rise and fall
And against the hull the seas may slap

And we are ships that pass in the night
Watching with passion for day's first light
And every moment of every day
We're on a voyage of parting ways

And us two star crossed lovers,
Intent on watching the skies above us,
I'll not find peace in any other
It's only you I would ever rather

Watching the skies until the part
Knowing that he will never lose heart
For he's under the same sky with the same watchful eye
Longing for when we're no longer apart
