Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Orion's arms are wide enough to hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart I'd cross the stars for you
In the heart of sleepless moon I'll be with you forever
This is my destiny till my life is through
Ooh
[Verse 2]
The arms of Orion, that's where I wanna be
Since you've been gone I've been searching for a lover
In a sea of tranquility
Drowning without you here, my dear
[Verse 3]
When I am lost and feeling lonely, I just look to Heaven
I find my comfort there, God only knows where you are tonight
God only knows where you are tonight, maybe time will tell me
Till then I close my eyes, say a prayer for you
(Say a prayer for you, too)
[Verse 4]
The arms of Orion, that's where I wanna be
Since you've been gone I've been searching for a lover
In a sea of tranquility
Drowning without you here, my dear
[Verse 5]
Orion's heart is bright enough to shine on both of us
The constellations never fail to light the way for love
Orion's arms are wide enough to hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart I'd cross the stars for you
(I'd cross the stars for you)
[Verse 6]
The arms of Orion, that's where I wanna be
Since you've been gone I've been searching for a lover
In a sea of tranquility
Drowning without you here, my dear, oh
(My dear)
[Verse 7]
The arms of Orion, that's where I wanna be
Since you've been gone I've been drowning (Lost)
In a sea of tranquility (Lonely)
Drowning without you here (Baby, yeah), my dear
[Verse 8]
Arms of Orion, that's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be, that's where I wanna be
(The arms of Orion, the arms of Orion)
Since you been gone, babe
Since you been gone I've been drowning (Drowning), drowning
Drowning without your love
The arms of Orion (Arms of Orion)
