Orion I

We're on our way

Almost surreal

I feel my hands

Numb on the wheel

You smile at me

I love you so

The mountain rests

In winter snow

The night is cold

I smile at you

The dark's not dark

But midnight blue

We are at peace

Under gentle stars

And the shadows will be drawn in the invisible dawn

It's fading

You know you've seen him in your sleep

His eyes are pebbles in the deep

Orion's glowing fire

Burning in your deepest dreams

I stop the car and kill the lights

There's someone in the winter night

He's watching you and me

And I wonder what he sees

The radio's on

Your breath is warm

We can not hear

The coming storm

That talks about

All the glory days

It's all about the one that got away that day

You know you've seen him in your sleep

His eyes are pebbles in the deep

Orion's glowing fire

Burning in your deepest dreams

I stop the car and kill the lights

There's someone in the winter night

He's smiling can't you see

Looking down at you and me
