Orion & Dog Lyrics

Orion said, This body is mine,
And you may do with it what ever you like
But when the sky turns red you'd better come back home
'Cause I can't spend these summer nights alone

Orion said, I'm just a humble hunter
The dog the only company I keep
Forgive me if if I fear that you will change me
But I've seen my fortune written in the leaves

Ah, push it through! Ah, push it through!
Because the body and the mind can't heal in two
Orion and dog, how the road you've walked was long
But the winter of your song
Is slowly fading

Orion said, You'd better treat me true
You should hold me like a bird inside your palm
'Cause I can't be just another heart you've broken
'Cause I'm getting much too old

Orion, she said, I know all men are mortal
And the ships in which you travel are full of thieves
But the only way that you will ever have me
Is if you through your body into the sea

Ah, push it through! Ah, push it through!
Because the body and the mind can't heal in two
Orion and dog, how the road you've walked was long
But the winter of your song
Is slowly fading

Orion and dog, How your light will live beyond
your final summer song
Or so it's fated
Or so it's fated
So it is fated
