Lyrics
SCORPIO
Last night a raging river dream
Took my previous life downstream
It went under in the icy black swirling flow
Gone forever like the dreams, I have to let go
For so long I dreamed him every night
To be the blue sky and sunshine all of his life
I can?t see the signs; I?m on the wrong road
A habit of sadness to break down slow
When I open the funny pages, I still look for him
In every morning paper I look for Scorpio
Instrumental
A third wife sparkles in the family jewels
Asleep on a chaise, a mirage by the pool
But its fools gold under that rainbow
Make no mistake, he was never my home
And when I open the funny pages, I still look for him
In every morning paper I look for Scorpio
Bridge ?
I was searching for information
A road map or revelation
Then I stopped the daily news coming to my door
?Cause it?s not about Scorpio no more
It?s not about Scorpio no more
