Someone To Talk To Lyrics

As I walked home from work tonight

I heard the faintest of whispers call my name

There was no one around so I figured it must be the moon

But as I looked up I met an old friend's eye

Mr. Orion stood clear and bright

Next to the moon he lifted his sword high

And uttered some words that I can't quite remember

But it left me thinking

If you could take a picture of the stars every night

For a thousand years imagine the stories they could tell

For you've hardly lived a lifetime yet you've seen so many stars

Who all need someone to talk to

We all need someone to talk to

I asked Mr. Orion "Why do you draw your sword?"

Looking down from the sky, he didn't say a word

He was silent, he was still, two states he had grown accustomed to

But opening his mouth the moon became quite bright

"I am the stuff" he said "that dreams are made of.

The stuff of dreams of fools like you

But those dreams are fading silently before your eyes

They keep asking for perfection without growth

But if you could take a picture of the stars every night

For a thousand years imagine the stories they could tell

For you've hardly lived a lifetime yet you've seen so many stars

Who all need someone to talk to

We all need someone to talk to

I come out at night to sprinkle this stardust

But no one dreams anymore they merely close their eyes

So now I draw my sword to remind them to dream

The ones that come from love and not from power and greed

Cause believe it or not people are still dreaming

And they all need someone to talk to

We all need someone to talk to

We all need someone to talk to"
