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
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
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 smiling can't you see
Looking down at you and me.
