Orpheus lyrics

Artist  : Duncan Sheik 
Song : Orpheus



 Send "Orpheus" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
Standing firm on this stony ground

Another
wind blows up, pulls these clothes around

I
harbor all the same worries as most 

Temptations to leave or to give up the
ghost

I wrestle with an out-look on life

That shifts between darkness and shadowy
line

I struggle with words I fear that
they'll hear 

That Orpheus sleeps on his
back, still dead to the world



Sunlight falls my wings open wide 

Theres a beauty here I cannot deny 

And
models that tumble and crash on the stairs 

Just so many people i knew never cared

Down below on the wreck of the ship 

Our
stronghold of pleasures I couldn't regret 

The baggage is swallowed up by the tide 

As Orpheus keeps to his promise

it stays
by my side



Tell me, I've still a lot
to learn 

Understand 

These fires
never start 

Believe me 

When this
joke is tired of laughing I will hear

The
promise of my Orpheus sing



long
rest



Sleepers sleep as we row the
boat

Just you and the web and I gave up
hope

But all of the hurdles that fell in
our laps

Fuel for the fire and straw for
our backs

Still the voices have stories to
tell

Of the power struggles in Heaven and
Hell

But we feel secure against such mighty
dreams 

As Orpheus sings of the promise
tomorrow may bring



Tell me, I've
still a lot to learn 

Understand 

These fires never start

Please believe
me

When this joke is tired of laughing I
will hear

The promise of my Orpheus sing
