What's this song about?

1
Got out of town on a boat for the southern islands
2
On a reach before a following sea
3
We were making for the trades on the outside
4
And the downhill run to Papeete
5
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
6
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way
7
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
8
But on the midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
9
(Chorus)
10
Think about how many times I have fallen
11
Spirits are using me, larger voices calling
12
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
13
I have been around the world
14
Looking for that woman girl
15
Who knows love can endure
16
And you know it will. And you know it will.
17
When you see the southern cross for the first time
18
You understand just why you came this way
19
Cause the truth you might be running from is so small
20
But its as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day
21
And I'm heading all the way, my dreams are dying
22
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
23
I have my ship and all her flags are a-flying
24
She is all I have left and music is her name
25
(chorus)
26
So we cheated and we tried and we tested
27
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
28
You will survive being bested
29
Somebody strong comes along, makes me forget, forget about loving you
30
And the southern cross
