Lyrics
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. Yeah.
Fade away, fade away, vanish into smoke,
Fade away, fade away, break the crystal ball.

Oh! It’s the sign
Feels like the time. Oooh.


1. 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 the sign of the southern cross.
It’s the sign of the southern cross, all right!
Sail away today! Ooh!


2. 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.


And it’s the sign of the southern cross.
It’s the sign of the southern cross!
Fade away, fade away, wake the crystal ball.
Fade away, fade away, I can’t accept it anymore!

On a small world west of wonder somewhere, nowhere all
There’s a rainbow that will 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.

And 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, it’s a sign, the time,
The sign of the southern cross. Play on!
