Southern Cross Songtext
von Robin Auld

Over my life the Southern Cross
I notice it more when it′s not there
Over my life I've never lost
The (feeling) that guided me on my way

Mother City, I came around
In the Mother City with the sound
Of the doves that call from Cape to Cairo
Oh Mama I lay me down

In my dreams I see the ocean
Smiling when the day is blue
How much of your salt is mothers′ tears?
Oh how many died to sail to you?

Mother City, I came around
In the Mother City with the sound
Of the doves that call from Cape to Cairo
Oh Mama I lay me down


And all good things the southeast brings
And all good things the southeast brings

Over my life the Southern Cross
I notice it more when it's not there
Over my life I've never lost
The (feeling) that guided me on my way

Mother City, I came around
In the Mother City with the sound
Of the doves that call from Cape to Cairo
Oh Mama I lay me down

In the Mother City I came around
In the Mother City with the sound
Of the doves that call from Cape to Cairo
Oh Mama I lay me down

Over my life the Southern Cross ooh
Over my life the Southern Cross


Oh Mama I lay me down
Oh Mama I lay me down
Oh Mama I lay me down
Oh Mama I lay me down
