about

This is written as a response to floods (and then cyclone Yasi) in North Queensland.

For me, this is about as minimal as lyrics get. John Libby on keyboards and Jan Porter on bgv.

Hold tight, hold tight!

lyrics

Under The Southern Cross
©2011 Neil Porter

Dark night
Under the Southern Cross
Hold tight
Hold tight

Star bright
Look at the things we lost
Do right
Do right

Dark night
Under the Southern Cross
Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight

Big rain
Out of the southern sky
Big fright
Big fright

Hard pain
After the longest dry
Not right
Not right

Dark night
Under the Southern Cross
Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight

Hold tight, hold tight

Hold tight, hold tight

Don’t know
How much it’s going to cost
Hold tight
Hold tight

Can’t say
How many lives are lost
Hold tight
Hold tight

Dark night
Under the Southern Cross
Hold tight
Hold tight
Hold tight
