"Orion" lyrics

Found you where the waters run
Arrows drawn against the sun
Your laughter echoed through the trees
The sweetest of your melodies

But love is not a thing for gods
No hands to hold, no threads to knot
Still I watch you chase the stars
Not knowing you would go too far

Oh, Orion, hear me now
Your name lingers in the clouds
Carved you into the midnight skin
But the moon can't love it only spins
Oh, Orion, hear me now
No hunter without a hound
I taught them to sing your hymn
But the moon can't love it only spins

Watched you go through the fray
Shoulders back and unafraid
Just because I see it all
Doesn't mean that you won't fall

Love is not a thing for gods
No hands to hold, no threads to knot
Still I watch you chase the stars
Not knowing you would go too far

Oh, Orion, hear me now
Your name lingers in the clouds
Carved you into the midnight skin
But the moon can't love it only spins
Oh, Orion, hear me now
No hunter without a hound
I taught them to sing your hymn
But the moon can't love it only spins

The burden of living forever
Is knowing we can't be together
I've watched heroes fall and then wither
And I'll do it 'til the end
The burden of living forever
Is knowing we can't be together
I've watched heroes fall and then wither
And I'll do it 'til the end all over

Oh, Orion, hear me now
Your name lingers in the clouds
Carved you into the midnight skin
But the moon can't love it only spins
Oh, Orion, hear me now
No hunter without a hound
I taught them to sing your hymn
But the moon can't love it only spins

Ahhh

But the moon can't love it only spins
