If there isn't light when noone sees   How can I know what you might believe   A story told that cant be real   Somehow must reflect the truth we feel   Fade away fade away   Vanish into small   Fade away fade away   Break the crystal ball   Its the sign   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 certain song   Then the beast is free to wander   But never seen around   Its the sign of the southern cross   Its the sign of the southern cross   Sail away   To the sea   From the book the word is spoken   Whispers from forgotten psalms   Gather all around the young ones   They will make us strong   Reach up above your dreams of pleasure   Give a life to those who die   Look beyond your own horizons   Sail the ship of sighs   Its the sign of the southern cross   Its the sign of the southern cross   Fade away fade away   Break the crystal ball   Fade away fade away   I can't accept it any more   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 psalms   Gather all around the young ones   They will make us strong   Its the sign of the southern cross   Its the sign of the southern cross   Dont live for pleasure   Make life your treasure   Fade away   Eight miles high, about to fall   And noone there to catch you   Look for the sign   The time   The sign of the southern cross   Fade off
