Orion |
| You were dead when they found you |
| On the floor of your apartment |
| You were dead, and your drum set stood there |
| Shining in the dark |
| Shining like stage lights |
| Shining like your eyes |
| Shining like Orion in the night |
| You were small time back in Austin |
| Where the drummers are all poor |
| You were rocking out this dive bar |
| There were bottles on the floor |
| And a couple lonely people |
| And the bartender and I |
| Remembered what it is to be alive |
| Hey Orion he’s falling |
| Catch him if you can |
| Hey Orion he’s calling |
| Amen, amen, amen |
| Were you dreaming of the big time |
| When you fell down all alone? |
| Could you see the velvet curtain |
| And the silver microphone? |
| Could you hear your own heart beating? |
| Did you hear it getting slow? |
| Could you hear your own heart playing rock and roll? |
| Hey Orion he’s falling |
| And you catch him if you can |
| Hey Orion he’s calling |
| Amen, amen, amen |
| Gram Parsons in a hotel |
| Buddy Holly on a plane |
| And you in your apartment |
| With your drum set shining |
| Shining like stage lights |
| Shining like your eyes |
| Shining like Orion in the night |
| Hey Orion he’s falling |
| And you catch him if you can |
| Hey Orion he’s calling |
| Amen, amen |
| Hey Orion now he’s falling |
| And you catch him if you can |
| Hey Orion he’s calling |
| Amen, amen |
| Amen, amen, amen |
