lyrics

It's cold and quiet,
And I can see the moon.
In pale reflections,
Across the snowy dune.

I breathe in deeply,
And smell the winter wind.
The skeleton treetops,
Cast shadows on my skin.

Well only a walk through the ice and the snow,
Can make you remember the summer sun's glow.
And my legs grow weary with each step I roam,
So please Orion, Take me home.

All night I shiver,
And wish the chill away.
I wrap up in promise,
Await the break of day.

The Sun never rises,
The sky a sea of grey.
Orion I need you,
To help me on my way.

Well only a walk through the ice and the snow,
Can make you remember the summer sun's glow.
And my legs grow weary with each step I roam,
So please Orion, Take me home.

A change in the weather, a letter from home.
Is all that I'm asking for, all that I need to go on.

Well only a walk through the ice and the snow,
Can make you remember the summer sun's glow.
And my legs grow weary with each step I roam,
So please Orion, Take me home.
