[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
'Till 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
'Till then I'll close my eyes and 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 1 Variation: 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
I'm 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 searching for a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm 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
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
'Till 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
'Till then I'll close my eyes and 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

I'd cross the stars for you

In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm 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 searching for a lover
In the Sea of Tranquility
I'm drowning without you here, my dear
[Outro: Prince & Sheena Easton]

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
