paroles de chanson Orion - Anaïs Mitchell

You were dead when they found you
On the floor of your apartment
You were dead, and your drum set stood there
Shining in the dark
Shining like stage lights
Shining like your eyes
Shining like Orion in the night

You were small time back in Austin
Where the drummers are all poor
You were rocking out this dive bar
There were bottles on the floor
And a couple lonely people
And the bartender and I
Remembered what it is to be alive

Hey Orion he's falling
Catch him if you can
Hey Orion he's calling
Amen, amen, amen

Were you dreaming of the big time
When you fell down all alone
Could you see the velvet curtain
And the silver microphone
Could you hear your own heart beating
Did you hear it getting slow
Could you hear your own heart playing rock and roll

Hey Orion he's falling
And you catch him if you can
Hey Orion he's calling
Amen, amen, amen

Gram Parsons in a hotel
Buddy Holly on a plane
And you in your apartment
With your drum set shining
Shining like stage lights
Shining like your eyes
Shining like Orion in the night

Hey Orion he's falling
And you catch him if you can
Hey Orion he's calling
Amen, amen
Hey Orion now he's falling
And you catch him if you can
Hey Orion he's calling
Amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen
