MASON JENNINGS LYRICS - Southern Cross

"Southern Cross"



I woke up at 4:35 still jet lagged from another plane ride

And opened my window over bondi beach

Where all the stars seemed out of reach

And recognized none but the southern cross

Sitting on my bed with the light turned off

Till i found a sweet song on the little clock radio and it made me cry

Singing have some faith, have some faith

And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be

And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me

Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories

Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep

Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be

Bottles on the table and socks on the floor

Trying to remember what i started this for

When a surfer friend of mine came and picked me up

And we paddled out as the sun was coming up

Talking about how everybody has to find

Something that gives them the strength to be alive

And out laying on our boards in the southern hemisphere, he said to me

Gotta have some faith, have some faith

And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be

And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me

Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories

Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep

Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be
