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
|
