0:19Maybe somewhere in the southern
0:22Hemisphere
0:24There could be room for all this love
0:28Where they've saved a place for innocence
0:32And what is still mysterious
0:39And their dreaming time
0:49They're dreaming time
0:55Because we've broken down the
0:58Wilderness
0:59And we've blackened up the skies
1:04And we cry 'cause we've got no vision left
1:09While the smoke gets in our eyes
1:16And there's no more time
1:25And the dream is dying
1:31But I love you baby
1:36And I know you and I
1:41Can find a way to heaven
1:45Just like orion in the sky
1:49He's the long lost hero
1:54He's the guardian of your son
1:58But can he protect us baby
2:03From all the sad things we've done
2:27Now I know there's no sense in hiding
2:32And we can't escape this war
2:37And I have made my peace with dying
2:41Down here on this killing floor
2:48In a world gone blind
2:57Where there's no more time
3:03But I love you baby
3:08And I know by and by
3:12We gonna find a way to heaven
3:17Just like orion in the sky
3:22He can walk upon the water
3:26He can shine for everyone
3:30But can he protect us baby
3:35From all the sad things we've done
3:41Is it too much to ask in a lifetime
3:50For just one shot at happiness
3:59Do you just have to laugh at the right lines
4:09Until you come face to face
4:11With the looking glass
4:13To be reckoned with the sins of our time
4:25I love you baby
4:29I can see you and I
4:33As we fly away together
4:38Up to orion in the sky
4:43He's the last of the fallen angels
4:47He's the light of the southern cross
4:52Maybe he can take us baby
4:56Back to the paradise we've lost
5:00So I'll see you darlin'
5:04Now fly baby fly
5:09Down across the fiji islands
5:14To where the seven sisters cry
5:18Gather all your dreams and take them
5:22Somewhere so far out of reach
5:28Follow the sword of the hunter baby
5:32And meet me on the beach
5:36We are forever tied
5:39Still on the run
5:41To the medicine man
5:43For all the sad sad things
5:47We've done
Maybe somewhere in the southern
Hemisphere
There could be room for all this love
Where they've saved a place for innocence
And what is still mysterious
And their dreaming time
They're dreaming time
Because we've broken down the
Wilderness
And we've blackened up the skies
And we cry 'cause we've got no vision left
While the smoke gets in our eyes
And there's no more time
And the dream is dying
But I love you baby
And I know you and I
Can find a way to heaven
Just like orion in the sky
He's the long lost hero
He's the guardian of your son
But can he protect us baby
From all the sad things we've done
Now I know there's no sense in hiding
And we can't escape this war
And I have made my peace with dying
Down here on this killing floor
In a world gone blind
Where there's no more time
But I love you baby
And I know by and by
We gonna find a way to heaven
Just like orion in the sky
He can walk upon the water
He can shine for everyone
But can he protect us baby
From all the sad things we've done
Is it too much to ask in a lifetime
For just one shot at happiness
Do you just have to laugh at the right lines
Until you come face to face
With the looking glass
To be reckoned with the sins of our time
I love you baby
I can see you and I
As we fly away together
Up to orion in the sky
He's the last of the fallen angels
He's the light of the southern cross
Maybe he can take us baby
Back to the paradise we've lost
So I'll see you darlin'
Now fly baby fly
Down across the fiji islands
To where the seven sisters cry
Gather all your dreams and take them
Somewhere so far out of reach
Follow the sword of the hunter baby
And meet me on the beach
We are forever tied
Still on the run
To the medicine man
For all the sad sad things
We've done
