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
