Orion in The Sky — текст песни (Shawn Colvin)

S. colvin - l. klein



Maybe somewhere in the southern

Hemisphere

There could be room for all this love

Where theyve saved a place for innocence

And what is still mysterious

And their dreaming time

Theyre dreaming time





Because weve broken down the

Wilderness

And weve blackened up the skies

And we cry cause weve got no vision left

While the smoke gets in our eyes

And theres no more time

And the dream is dying





But I love you baby

And I know you and i

Can find a way to heaven

Just like orion in the sky

Hes the long lost hero

Hes the guardian of your son

But can he protect us baby

From all the sad things weve done





Now I know theres no sense in hiding

And we cant escape this war

And I have made my peace with dying

Down here on this killing floor

In a world gone blind

Where theres no more time





But I love you baby

And I know by and by

We gonna find a way to heaven

Just like orion in the sky

He can walk upon the water

He can shine for everyone

But can he protect us baby

From all the sad things weve done





Is it too much to ask in a lifetime

For just one shot at happiness

Do you just have to laugh at the right lines

Until you come face to face

With the looking glass

To be reckoned with the sins of our time





I love you baby

I can see you and i

As we fly away together

Up to orion in the sky

Hes the last of the fallen angels

Hes the light of the southern cross

Maybe he can take us baby

Back to the paradise weve lost





So Ill see you darlin

Now fly baby, fly

Down across the fiji islands

To where the seven sisters cry

Gather all your dreams and take them

Somewhere so far out of reach

Follow the sword of the hunter, baby

And meet me on the beach

We are forever tied

Still on the run

To the medicine man

For all the sad, sad things

Weve done
