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
