Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The stars are blue around me
That much I can see
Like distant members of my distant twinkling, blue family
Watchin' me get married
To the immensity
The orchid in the canyon
Is the one for me
[Verse 2]
As the lion returned to the family crest
The shepherd took off his sheepskin vest
And the children came pourin' and pourin'
Out of my chest
Oh, all of the lives I had carried
Just staggered me
Staggered me, staggered me
[Verse 3]
How joyous to know
What we knew was out there wanting to
Finally came home
[Verse 4]
Let's spend a light year together
Oh, I know it's a distance
From here to the stars
[Verse 5]
Watchin' us get married
To the immensity
The orchid in the canyon
Is the one for me
