Cross first played with a San Antonio-based cover band named Flash (not to be confused with the early 1970s English band of the same name) before signing a solo contract with Warner Bros. in 1978.
The first album, and immediate success
Cross released his self-titled debut album, Christopher Cross, in 1979. The Billboard Hot 100 top 20 hits from this album included "Ride Like the Wind" (featuring backing vocals by Michael McDonald), "Sailing", "Never Be the Same", and "Say You'll Be Mine" (featuring backing vocals by Nicolette Larson). Due to the almost immediate success and popularity gained by his first album, he was nominated for several Grammy Awards, garnering him five.
Christopher Cross is the self-titled debut album by Christopher Cross, released in December 1979. Recorded in mid-1979, the album was one of the early digitally recorded albums, utilizing the 3M Digital Recording System. In 1981, it won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. It has been noted for being one of the most influential soft rock albums of the early 1980s and famously beat Pink Floyd's The Wall for that year's Grammy.
Rendezvous-Christopher Cross feat Jeff Porcaro (TOTO)
From Christopher Cross 1991 "Rendezvous" album, this the title track. Why this album was never released in the U.S. is beyond me! This song features one of the best drummers of all-time the late Jeff Porcaro of Toto! Jeff also played on the track Is There Something" They were some of the last ones he recorded on before his untimely death. You will be missed my brother! I HIGHLY recommend this album if you can get your hands on it! For now, Enjoy

Walking In Avalon:
Maybe I remind you of a lover you had
Maybe I'm crazy and I make you laugh
Maybe you thought I had a lot of cash
I don't care what it was

I really dig that your apartment's a mess
I dig the way the sun shines through your dress

Christopher Cross - Rendezvous - Drifting away (Lyrics)
The clock is screaming and it's time to go
The day is waiting and you're moving slow
News and weather on the radio
But your mind keeps driftin' away
Work is steady and your friends are good
You're going forward like you think you should
You'd put your heart into it if you could
But your mind keeps driftin' away
Look at your world through the windowpane
Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane
You're always saying that you can't complain
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
The conversation turns to seeds you've sown
It gets you thinking 'bout someone you've known
She's always with you but she's still alone
And your mind keeps driftin' away
We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream's a story only you can tell
You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
Another sunset another dawn
Hard to distinguish where the lines are drawn
Hard to imagine where the time has gone
You might discover you're where you belong
When your mind is driftin' away
Look at your world through the windowpane
Embrace that secret thing that keeps you sane
You're always saying that you can't complain
But your mind keeps driftin' away
We make excuses but you know damn well
A dream's a story only you can tell
You've tasted heaven and you've been through hell
But your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away
And your mind keeps driftin' away

I can't believe my luck
You're such a fabulous fabulous mmm
I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king
It's cool we both like Bogart and Bacall
It's cool that I like John and you like Paul
Baby it's cool forever cool that your spirit is free
And still you've chosen me
I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king
Remember those mushrooms down in Mexico
How we found our clothes I'll never know
Baby I hope I've loved you the way that you have loved me
A toast to Guinevere
Let's fill our grail with one more beer
I'm walking in Avalon
And drunk on everything
Her hero in Avalon
A man who would be king
We're walking in Avalon
Alive as anything
Two heroes in Avalon
So let the sirens sing

Tonight, I take my chance Tonight, I make my own fate Tonight, another statistic Makes the gravest of mistakes I wonder if they'll even notice when I'm gone I wonder if they'll even care Temptation, it taunts me The urge for escape The taste of cold steel on my lips The rope around my neck These bitter pills and razorblades seal my fate Demons resolve me Another voice whispers This is not your choice There is more to this if you hold on Temptation it taunts me The urge for escape Hesitation means something Am I stronger than this? I choose to hold on
