Orion

Meaning:

"This is a very old song I wrote when I was about seventeen. It's a love song, straight-up. That's it. I think it was probably the first time I really felt strongly about someone in a mature way.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be an astronomer. The sky has always facinated me. Orion (Orion is a constellation) was inspired by an evening when the sky was particularly romantic and facinating. Sometimes you can see a huge halo around the moon (I don't know the scientific/astonomical explanation. Somebody tell me if they do.). Other interesting facts about our romantic sky--the Orionids is an annual meteor shower, at the end of October (I think). " - (Joe Hedges)

You've been here too long girl.
let me take you away
give me your worries.
my ears, to understand.

Don't let the past get you down.
don't let them push you around.

Just keep me against your skin
I've never felt so alive.
close your eyes.
i've seen the colors you hide.
the colors you hide.

Don't let the past get you down.
I won't let them push you around.

There's a halo 'round the moon tonight
and all the stars - like reminders of our daylight
as orion whispers softly
in hopes that this might last.
orion may be smiling
as the time goes by so fast.
so fast.

Keep me in those eyes.
I've never felt so complete.
standing under the night sky
I've never felt so complete. so alive

Don't let the past get you down.
I'll never let them push you around.

There's a halo 'round the moon tonight
and all the stars - like reminders of our daylight
orion whispers softly
in hopes that this might last.
and orion may be smiling
as the time goes by so fast.
so fast.
