Lyrics

Orion's Belt
by Paul Felton

All alone on a starlit night
Thinking of you and feeling contrite

Another fight and I had to be right
Now it's too late to see the light

I blundered in with my agenda

I couldn’t imagine how it would offend you
I misread what you wanted me to bring
Now I can’t escape your scorpion’s sting

I look up at the clear night sky
Wondering should I cry or sigh
Standing here remembering what I felt

As a plane flies across Orion's belt, wo-oh oh

I can see now you were trying to test me
Pulling away so you could best me
Going to the bar played into your hands

As solid ground became shifting sands

I swam into water over my head
Far away from your feathered bed
Drowning my sorrows and losing my power
Blood spilling out with each passing hour

I was hunting for love in your embrace
But you’ve disappeared without a trace
We could have been something but it slipped away
Into emptiness at the end of the day

I look up at the clear night sky
Wondering should I cry or sigh
Standing here remembering what I felt

As a plane flies across Orion's belt

I look up at the clear night sky
Wondering should I cry or sigh
Standing here remembering what I felt

As a plane flies across Orion's belt
