[Verse 1]
The stars are blue around me, that much I can see
Like distant members of my distant twinkling blue family

[Refrain]
Watching me get married to the immensity
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me

[Verse 2]
As the lion returned to the family crest
The shepherd took off his sheepskin vest
And the children came pouring and pouring out of my chest
Oh, all of the lives I had carried
Just staggered me, staggered me, staggered me

[Bridge]
How joyous to know
What we knew was out there wanting to
Finally came home
Let's spend a light year together
Oh, I know it's a distance from here to the stars

[Refrain]
Watching us get married to the immensity
The orchid in the canyon is the one for me
