Shawn Colvin - Orion In The Sky Lyrics
S. colvin - l. kleinMaybe somewhere in the southernHemisphereThere could be room for all this loveWhere theyve saved a place for innocenceAnd what is still mysteriousAnd their dreaming timeTheyre dreaming timeBecause weve broken down theWildernessAnd weve blackened up the skiesAnd we cry cause weve got no vision leftWhile the smoke gets in our eyesAnd theres no more timeAnd the dream is dyingBut I love you babyAnd I know you and iCan find a way to heavenJust like orion in the skyHes the long lost heroHes the guardian of your sonBut can he protect us babyFrom all the sad things weve doneNow I know theres no sense in hidingAnd we cant escape this warAnd I have made my peace with dyingDown here on this killing floorIn a world gone blindWhere theres no more timeBut I love you babyAnd I know by and byWe gonna find a way to heavenJust like orion in the skyHe can walk upon the waterHe can shine for everyoneBut can he protect us babyFrom all the sad things weve doneIs it too much to ask in a lifetimeFor just one shot at happinessDo you just have to laugh at the right linesUntil you come face to faceWith the looking glassTo be reckoned with the sins of our timeI love you babyI can see you and iAs we fly away togetherUp to orion in the skyHes the last of the fallen angelsHes the light of the southern crossMaybe he can take us babyBack to the paradise weve lostSo Ill see you darlinNow fly baby, flyDown across the fiji islandsTo where the seven sisters cryGather all your dreams and take themSomewhere so far out of reachFollow the sword of the hunter, babyAnd meet me on the beachWe are forever tiedStill on the runTo the medicine manFor all the sad, sad thingsWeve done
