(Carly Simon)
Orpheus, it could have been
you could have held me again
You said your songs had all gone
And that the road back up was too long
But it ws there for us
It was there for us
I loved you all along
Orpheus
The part of me that died
Was ready to be reborn
And you called of the hounds
Of hell with your songs
Orpheus, Orpheus
I loved you all along, Orpheus
Orpheus, It could have been
You could have held me again
But you couldn’t wait
Somewhere along the road
you lost your faith
Out of despair and believing
I was gone
You gave up on my love
you gave up on us
But it was there for us,
It was there for us
I loved you all along

Yeah that summer I did nothing
Sleeping and thinking and hanging around
I Left the dark streets of September
As the air was cooling down
Woah yeah it was cooling down
I need the sunshine in the mornin'
Heading for the open road
Sunshine in the mornin'
Lord you gotta let it go
Ever since I lost her
It seems the more I learn the less I know
And everyday I think about her
But if I look back I'm gonna turn to stone to stone
Oh yeah I'm gonna turn to stone
I need the sunshine in the mornin'
Heading for the open road
Sunshine in the mornin'
Lord you gotta let it go
I need the sunshine in the mornin'
Yeah I gotta feel its glow
Sunshine in the mornin'
Lord you gotta let it go
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
I'm heading for the open road
Go yeah cool yeah
Hit me without warning
I was left out on my own
The bad times they were forming
I went through them alone
But a new day it is dawning
And I feel my pain is gone
The open road is calling
And I am moving on
I need the sunshine in the mornin'
Heading for the open road
Sunshine in the mornin'
Lord you gotta let it go
I need the sunshine in the mornin'
Yeah I gotta feel its glow
Sunshine in the mornin'

I heard that your orpheus he done left town
Snuck out the back way while you slept face down
Bound for the underworld he rolled down his wool sleeves
And like a serpent coiled about the wet leaves
Tennessee waltzing a dance of disease
Can't you see
Pick up your shears delilah right there
Leave all your cares to fall like dead hair
Outside a carriage waits to take you home
Its tricky handbrake will not hold out for long
Do hop inside for your map it has been drawn
Can't you see
What leads you
What leads you
What leads you
What leads
Pickin' the mandrake I would use for tea
I heard the water spirits calling me
And faintly a peacock cried behind the tulles
Can't you see
That when you feel it tickle your brain
Filling your skull's bowl with a butane
Maybe the genie wants back in the lamp
He's run out of wishes and his clothes are all damp
Back to the bottle though he knows just how cramped
That can be
What leads you
What leads you
What leads you
What leads you
What is it now now
What is it
What is it
What is it now
What is it now now
What leads
Well what leads you
What leads you now now now
Down down down
Down down down down down

Standing firm on this stony ground
The wind blows hard
Pulls these clothes around
I harbour all the same worries as most
The temptations to leave or to give up the ghost
I wrestle with an outlook on life
That shifts between darkness and shadowy light
I struggle with words for fear that they'll hear
But Orpheus sleeps on his back still dead to the world
Sunlight falls, my wings open wide
There's a beauty here I cannot deny
And bottles that tumble and crash on the stairs
Are just so many people I knew never cared
Down below on the wreck of the ship
Are a stronghold of pleatures I couldn't regret
But the baggage is swallowed up by the tide
As Orpheus keeps to his promise and stays by my side
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Believe me, when this joke is tired of laughing
I will hear the promise of my Orpheus sing
Sleepers sleep as we row the boat
Just you, the weather, and I gave up hope
But all of the hurdles that fell in our laps
Were fuel for the fire and straw for our backs
Still the voices have stories to tell
Of the power struggles in heaven and hell
But we feel secure against such mighty dreams
As Orpheus sings of the promise tomorrow may bring
Tell me, I've still a lot to learn
Understand, these fires never stop
Please believe, when this joke is tired of laughing

Soul on fire I dared the gods
My shadow is your guide
Through the hollow and I came
You pause Follow me
Up the hill So hard So hard
To keep you from my eyes
Have to turn around
And see your face
Follow me
Come star of dawn
Come fall of night
Come follow me
I follow you through a broken dream
I’ve set my sail
So hard to wait
To see your face

Star in your time respected
You couldn't bring the past to life
Slipped through your hands again
Don't look back
And you mourn again
Who from us can feel your pain?
Sing a sweet song
To pass the day
Entrancing even the most harden
Convinced the highest ranking to do your bidding
Let us into the underworld to retrieve your only love
And defy the serpent's curse of death
The magic you possess
The different ways they said you died
I say you died of loneliness
Sad and alone
Sunrise to sunset
You touch a chord with me
Orpheus
A minstrel supreme, but a lonely human being
They never let you have it all in this world
Even you, with the magic of your song
Our lives are bitter sweet
The serpent's seen to that
Orpheus

Thru magic power of aerial music,
Entrancing skies and birds and stones,
I hear the cruel tears of martyr
Mourning his love all gone to kingdom come.
I also hear the shrieks of thousand wild voices,
The coarse fingers rip apart your adolescent flesh,
The chaste blood drops with the sound of purest peal,
And ground and beasts and trees gasp at the sorrow they feel.
Oh beauteous Orpheus, repose,
Your heart's still beating in the nature's symphony,
Forevermore trying to arouse,
Your passion's still living in sublime harmony.
The powers of the underworld, begone,
All left subdued by perpetual godlike sound.
The storms fade away and venoms stay benign,
Alive or dead – obedient like a lamb.
Oh beauteous Orpheus, repose,
Your heart's still beating in the nature's symphony,
Forevermore trying to arouse,
