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
