Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I float and all at sea
The stars align in threes
They're so fun and free in blue and in green
Like leaves on endless trees
[Verse 2]
Come climb the skies with me
Come here and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
In love, in light, in key
[Verse 3]
I went out at night alone
The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit's wings
I pour my sorrow heavily
But when I lifted up my head
From shadows shaken on the snow
I saw Orion in the east
Burn steadily as long ago
[Verse 4]
From windows in my father's house
Dreamin' my dreams on winter nights
I watched Orion as a boy
Above another city's lights
Years ago, dreams ago
And youth goes too
The worlds heart breaks beneath its wars
[Verse 5]
All things are changed
Saving the east, the faithful beauty of the stars
All things are changed
All things are changed
Saving the east, the faithful beauty of the stars
[Verse 6]
So come climb the skies with me
Come here and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
[Verse 7]
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
[Verse 8]
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light
In love, in light, in key
