Over my life the Southern Cross
I notice it more when it's not there
Over my life I never lost
The feel of it guiding me on my way

Mother City
I came around in the
Mother City, oh
With the sound of the doves that call
From Cape to Cairo
Home, home
I lay me down

In my dreams I see the ocean
Smiling when the day is blue
How much of the salt is mothers tears?
Oh, how many died to sail to you?

Mother City
I came around you
In the Mother City
With the sound of the doves that call
From Cape to Cairo
Home, home
I lay me down

And all good things the South East brings
All good things the South East brings

Over my life the Southern Cross
I notice it more when it's not there
Over my life I never lost
The feel of it guiding me on my way

Mother City
I came around in the
Mother City
With the sound of the doves that call
From Cape to Cairo
Oh, home
I lay me down

Oh, home
I lay me down
Oh, home
I lay me down, oh
