Jethro Tull Orion Lyrics

Orion
Won't you give me your star sign
Get up on the skyline
I'm high on my hill and I feel fine
Let's sip the heavens' heady wine

Orion, light your light, come guard the open s___es
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 f__ 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
Get up on the skyline
I'm high on your love and I feel fine
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
