Duncan Sheik - Orpheus Lyrics
Standing firm on this stony groundAnother wind blows up, pulls these clothes aroundI harbor all the same worries as mostTemptations to leave or to give up the ghostI wrestle with an out-look on lifeThat shifts between darkness and shadowy lineI struggle with words I fear that they'll hearThat Orpheus sleeps on his back, still dead to the worldSunlight falls my wings open wideTheres a beauty here I cannot denyAnd models that tumble and crash on the stairsJust so many people i knew never caredDown below on the wreck of the shipOur stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regretThe baggage is swallowed up by the tideAs Orpheus keeps to his promiseit stays by my sideTell me, I've still a lot to learnUnderstandThese fires never startBelieve meWhen this joke is tired of laughing I will hearThe promise of my Orpheus singlong restSleepers sleep as we row the boatJust you and the web and I gave up hopeBut all of the hurdles that fell in our lapsFuel for the fire and straw for our backsStill the voices have stories to tellOf the power struggles in Heaven and HellBut we feel secure against such mighty dreamsAs Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bringTell me, I've still a lot to learnUnderstandThese fires never startPlease believe meWhen this joke is tired of laughing I will hearThe promise of my Orpheus sing
