Shawn Colvin - Orion In The Sky Lyrics
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
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
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

Shawn Colvin Orion In The Sky Comments
My favorite.
Mine too!
Bob Harris had a late night show in which he said that " I don't know why" would be a number one hit. I agreed...but life ain't fair...
Love Shawn Colvin!
I love this song! Shawn Colvin is a treasure.
Shawn Colvin is a pure artist
I second that, 'thanks for taking us there'.
No comments??? Shawn deserves better than this....I was a musician, in another lifetime ago (1978-2003), and the day I discovered Shawn, was the day I discovered a part of my heart in her. Every note a gem, every thought a brilliant shimmer, all band members perfect...thank you, Shawn, this stuff still gives me chills, since the 90's....brilliant, insightful, thanks for taking us there.....
wygakyl we're all too "in awe" to comment lol every single one of the thousands of times I've listened to this, I still always float away
Ha....wonder what bad thing was on my mind that day!! Whew!
Thanks for that, Michael
wygakyl It's so wordy, it's genius! I love Shawn, she writes like a boy, in the best possible way&sense... She would know what I mean, and wouldn't take offense. Whereas, Adam Duritz from Counting Crows his best songs, are like he writes like a girl, also genius! Shawn is beyond words, and I love "Bonefields"...
I just got back from Happy Hour in Las Vegas and i played this song on my Myrtlewood Concerto E!!! So shush up. Nothing but respect!!!
