Your silence is a question
To what I couldn’t say
I see it in your tension
I let it slip away
I know I never told you
I should have done it then
I could have tried to hold you
Instead I turned and ran
Did you know that I was dying
Did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
The constellation of Orion
So bright that night
Did you know that I was fading
Maybe I was hanging on to find
You’d be there to save me If I ever fell behind
I know it doesn’t matter
'Cause I’ll be leaving soon
I’ll try and send you letters
And postcards from the moon
I’ll hear it if you call me You have to know it’s true
It gets a little lonely
I hope you miss me too
But did you know that I was dying
Did you know that I was waiting for my ride?
The constellation of Orion
So bright that night
Did you know that I was fading
Maybe I was hanging on to find
You’d be there to save me If I ever fell behind
When the shooting stars hit the city lights
I could tell that we would live forever
You and I Standing outside, gazing at the sky;
Feeling so alive
Alive…
If you knew that I was dying
If you knew that I was waiting for my ride
Still waiting, hoping
For you tonight
I’m getting tired of trying
My destination’s glittering up high
The constellation of Orion
Is where I’m going to fly
So if you ever miss me Just look up Look up to the sky
