Arms of Sagittarius

Words and music by Rupa Marya

It was the strangest thing I'd ever done
Sitting alone underneath a tree
Across the distance was a girl
She was heading straight for me

She had wild eyes, she had a crazy smile
She had a breeze beneath her feet
She had a mission on her mind, a thing to say
She was heading straight for me

As she got a little closer
I saw dogwoods in her hair
Careful girl, easy does it
Dogwood blossoms in her hair

She said, Don't you worry now, stranger
It's only springtime makes me so
But I was caught up in the wonder of her style
And the bareness of her toes

She said, I'm going to take this big ship I found
Sail it straight on to the stars
Come on and leave it behind
And fly into the arms of Sagittarius

Careful girl, easy does it
There were dogwoods in her hair
Invincibility like I’d never seen
Blossoms in her hair

Now it's only when the sky
Is the perfect shade of blue
I don't know exactly why but I
Become the perfect fool

So I took her hand and we danced we danced
Till we could not stand, either of us
And before I could stand my ground I found
I was in the arms of Sagittarius

I didn't have to ask now I knew
What was in my hair
Sweet surrender like I’d never known
Blossoms in my hair
