If there isn't light when no-one sees

Then how can I know what you might believe?



A story told that can't be real

Somehow must reflect the truth we feel

Fade away, fade away

Vanish into smoke

Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball



Oh, it's the sign, feels like the time!



On a small world, west of wonder

Somewhere, nowhere all

There's a rainbow that will shimmer

When the summer falls

If an echo doesn't answer

When it hears a searchin' sound

Then the beast is free to wander

But never seen around



And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross

It's the Sign of the Southern Cross, all right!

Sail away today, oh



From the book the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten sound

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

Reach above your dreams of pleasure

Give a knife to those who die

Look beyond your own horizons



Sail the ship of sighs

Fade away, fade away

Wake the crystal ball

Fade away, fade away

I can't accept it anymore!



On a real world, west of wonder

Somewhere, nowhere all

There's a rainbow see it shimmer

When the summer falls

From the book, the word is spoken

Whispers from forgotten sound

Gather all around the young ones

They will make us strong

It's the Sign of the Southern Cross

It's the Sign of the Southern Cross



Don't live for pleasure

Make life your treasure

Fade away!



Eight miles high, about to fall

And no-one there to catch you,

Look for the sign, the time,

The Sign of the Southern Cross, play on!
