Orion In The Sky Lyrics - Fat City - Shawn Colvin

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 

An' 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 

Now is it too much to ask in a lifetime 

For just one shot at happiness 

Or 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? 

'Cause, 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
