I step out of her porchlight choosing darkness over day Say goodnight with one last kiss and no decision Takes all my strength to get into my car and drive away Interstate reflectors flying past the edges of my vision The stars above are shining through a million years of night Im painting on the sky to form a lion Following the storylines between these points of light Looking through my windshield at the road and my old friend Orion Look up at the sky with me There is nothing so romantic as the stars We can make a constellation A brushstroke here and there and there you are Pictures of the evening wander back across my mind How my finger traced the freckles on her arm I cant see past my headlights, or the dreams that Ive designed Following this broken painted line and wishing on a star Look up at the sky with me There is nothing so romantic as the stars We can make a constellation A brushstroke here and there and there you are Seems Orions always been there when I needed company I really ought to go and visit him sometime But for all the miles together, Im not sure what I would say All the things I once saw clearly always seem to move away and realign I will call her on a cell phone from the road tomorrow night From the safety of six hundred miles away With my nebulous impressions of the woman smiling bright In the picture in the sunlight on the dashboard, til the photo fades away Look up at the sky with me There is nothing so romantic as the stars We can make a constellation A brushstroke here and there and there you are
