The Orionids of Bahia Lyrics

Halley won't you come back to me

Halley

Halley I'm as lonely as can be

Halley

Halley's like a comet

Never staying in one place

As the season changes

She's traveling apace

But so much like that comet

There she goes

By putting in the effort

I can predict where she will be

I'm plotting out the heavens

Learning cartography

She's heading for the mountains

Forsaking the blue sea

Halley leave a trail

Just for me

Halley defies gravity

Halley

Halley floats casually

Halley

Halley's like a comet

Orbiting a sphere

She returns to where she started

But two times in one year

And so much like that comet

There she goes

She can feel the weather changing

When the north winds start to blow

Heading for the beaches

Forsaking the snow

I long to see her walking

Like a samba on the sand

Illuminating everything she can

Like all her other lovers

I'm doing just the same

"The Orionids of Bahia"

They've given us that name

Cause we follow Halley's footsteps

Wherever they may fall

For Halley, the comet, one and all

I like to picture Halley from space

Halley

With starlight shining all round her face

Halley

Her hair flung back behind her

Like a comet's tail

Caught up in the breeze like that

Her scent upon the air

But so much like that comet

There she goes

Life is filled with longing

That's what I believe

She's moving to the mountains

Forsaking the sea

Come back to Ipanema

I'll be watching up above

For Halley, the comet, and my love
