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    I’m 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 can’t see past my headlights, or the dreams that I’ve 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 Orion’s always been there when I needed company   I really ought to go and visit him sometime   But for all the miles together, I’m 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
