Orion Lyrics - Stormwatch - Jethro Tull

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 heavens' 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

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 heavens' heady wine 

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 heavens' 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.
