"Orion's Belt" lyrics

She's got dreams big enough to fill a mansion
I'm a fraction of the life she's pining for
Reality don't stand a chance when we're romancing
Passing houses on the hill we can't afford

She's got confidence that hides behind a curtain
Sometimes she shows me when there's no one else around
And if the angels could see how hard we've been working
Maybe the heavens would pitch in to help us out

But for now we'll have to deal with the cards that we've been dealt
Stare up at the stars while the ice caps melt
If I had a bag, I wouldn't spend it on myself
I'd buy her all the diamonds in Orion's belt

She's got a mind that's fortified with ammunition
Not dowry or tradition could persuade
But the price of getting by has got me wishin'
That I had more than just my love to trade

But for now we'll have to deal with the cards that we've been dealt
Stare up at the stars while the ice caps melt
If I had a bag, I wouldn't spend it on myself
I'd buy her all the diamonds in Orion's belt

Now the dream inside her eyes is slowly fading
Although I know it's fun to wish for pretty things
We can rest it for a while while we're waiting
The fate to pull the puppet strings

But for now we'll have to deal with the cards that we've been dealt
Stare up at the stars while the ice caps melt
If I had a bag, I wouldn't spend it on myself
I'd buy her all the diamonds in Orion's belt
I'd buy her all the diamonds in Orion's belt
I'd buy her all the diamonds in Orion's belt
