Lyrics: Sara Teasdale/Kurt Elling
Music: Carla Bley
I float and all at sea
The stars align in threes
They're so fine and free
In blue and in green
Like leaves on endless trees
Come climb the skies with me
Come here and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
In love
In light
In key
I went out at night alone
The young blood flowing beyond the sea
Seemed to have drenched my spirit's wings
I bore my sorrow heavily
But when I lifted up my head
From shadows shaken on the snow
I saw Orion in the east
Burn steadily as long ago
From windows in my father's house
Dreaming my dreams on winter nights
I watched Orion as a boy
Above another city's lights
Years ago
Dreams ago
And youth goes too
The world's heart breaks
Beneath it's wars
All things are changed
Save in the east
The faithful beauty of the stars
All things are changed
All things are changed
Save in the east
The faithful beauty of the stars
So come climb the skies with me
Come here and come to see
Melody in perfect symmetry
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In love
In light
In key
