Orion in the Sky
S. Colvin/L. Klein 

         Maybe somewhere in the southern
         hemisphere
         There could be room for all this love
         Where they've saved a place for innocence
         And what is still mysterious
         And their dreaming time
         They're dreaming time

         Because we've broken down the 
         wilderness
         And we've blackened up the skies
         And we cry 'cause we've got no vision left
         While the smoke gets in our eyes
         And there's 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
         He's the long lost hero
         He's the guardian of your son
         But can he protect us baby
         From all the sad things we've done

         Now I know there's no sense in hiding
         And we can't escape this war
         And I have made my peace with dying
         Down here on this killing floor
         In a world gone blind
         Where there's 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 we've 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
         He's the last of the fallen angels
         He's the light of the Southern Cross
         Maybe he can take us baby
         Back to the paradise we've lost

         So I'll 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
         We've done
