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 flip-side of the world and I believe there is a reason
 So look down on my girl just while I'm over here
 'Cause 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
