[Verse 1: Prince and Sheena Easton]
Orion's arms are wide enough
To hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart
I'd cross the stars for you
In the heart of a sleepless moon
I'll be with you forever
This is my destiny
'Til my life is through
[Chorus: Prince & Sheena Easton]
The arms of Orion, that's where I want to be
Since you've been gone, I've been searching for a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without you here, my dear
[Verse 2: Prince and Sheena Easton]
When I am lost and feeling alone
I just look to heaven
I find my comfort there
God only knows where you are tonight
God only knows where you are tonight
Maybe time will tell me
'Til then, I'll close my eyes, say a prayer for you
I'll say a prayer for you, too
[Chorus: Prince & Sheena Easton]
The arms of Orion, that's where I want to be
Since you've been gone
I've been searching for a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without you here, my dear
[Bridge: Prince & Sheena Easton]
Orion's heart is bright enough
To shine on both of us
The constellations never fail
To light the way for love
[Verse 3: Prince and Sheena Easton]
Orion's arms are wide enough
To hold us both together
Although we're worlds apart
I'd cross the stars for you
I'd cross the stars for you
[Chorus: Prince & Sheena Easton]
The arms of Orion, that's where I want to be
Since you've been gone
I've been searching for a lover in the Sea of Tranquility
Drowning without you here, my dear
The arms of Orion, that's where I want to be
Since you've been gone, I've been drowning (Lost)
In the Sea of Tranquility
Drowning without you here, my dear
[Outro: Prince & Sheena Easton]
The arms of Orion
The arms of Orion
That's where I want to be
The arms of Orion
Since you've been gone
I've been drowning
Drowning
Drowning without your love
The arms of Orion
The arms of Orion
