Jethro Tull - Orion Lyrics
Orion, wont you give me your star signOrion, get up on the sky-lineIm high on my hill and I feel fineOrion, lets sip the heavens heady wineOrion, light your lights:Come guard the open spacesFrom the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and masterYour jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.So come up singing above the cloudy coverStare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.I know youre watching as the old gent by the stationScuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the streetAnd silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,Their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest chelsea.Prime years fly fading with each young hearts beatOrion, wont you make me a star signOrion, get up on the sky-lineIm high on your love and I feel fineOrion, lets sip the heavens heady wineAnd young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stopsAfter sad parties: no-one to take them homeTo greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night playFor lost virginity a thousand miles away.
