C
The stars are blue around me, that much I can see
      F                                             C
Like distant members of my distant twinkling blue family


                                F
Watching me get married to the immensity
     G             F                    C
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me


       Bm       F#m          Bm      F#m
As the lion returned to the family crest
Bm                F#m      G        A
The shepherd took off his sheepskin vest
         Bm            A           G                D
And the children came pouring and pouring out of my chest
                 Bm     A    G
Oh, all of the lives I had carried
             Bm A G         Bm A G        Bm A G
Just staggered me, staggered me, staggered me


              D       G
How joyous to know
                 D                  G
What we knew was out there wanting to
              Bm
Finally came home
                 C     D    G     C
Let's a spend a light year together
       D             G                       F
Oh, I know it's a distance from here to the stars


C                                  F
Watching us get married to the immensity
      G            F                     C
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me
