Orion lyrics

Artist  : Jethro tull 
Song : Orion
 
Orion, won't you give me your star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine

Orion, light your lights:
come guard the open spaces
from the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.
Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord
and master
Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls
by.
So come up singing above the cloudy cover
Stare through at people who toss fitful in their
sleep.
I know you're watching as the old gent by the
station
scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the
street
And 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 heart's
beat

Orion, won't you make me a star sign
Orion, get up on the sky-line
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine

And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely
bus-stops
after sad parties: no-one to take them home
to greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play
for lost virginity a thousand miles away.
