Orleans

Orleans is an American pop-rock band best known for its hits "Dance with Me" (1975), "Still the One", from the album Waking and Dreaming (1976) and "Love Takes Time" (1979). The group's name evolved from the music it was playing at the time of their formation, which was inspired by Louisiana artists such as Allen Toussaint and the Neville Brothers. Orleans was formed in Woodstock, New York in January 1972 by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter John Hall, vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Larry Hoppen and drummer/percussionist Wells Kelly. In October of that year, the group expanded to include Larry's younger brother, Lance, on bass. Drummer Jerry Marotta joined in 1976, completing the quintet. more »

In the beginning, there was light
Man and woman lived in paradise
But with the apple, they both fell
And cast us all beneath the serpent's spell
Books of knowledge from the wise
Say that right before our very eyes
There is still a garden here
One that's free of greed and pain and fear

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away?
Won't you go with me? Help me find the key
How much longer will I have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

You say you've got to find yourself
Before you share your love with someone else
Another time, another place
But we're not given time and love to waste

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away?
Won't you go with me? Help me find the key
How much longer will you make me wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

Oh, reason and guidance surround us
Deafness and blindness confound us
All ways your choice paves the way

Heaven could be here for us today
How on earth could you turn me away?
(Don't turn me away)
Won't you go with me? (Go with me)
Help me find the key (Find the key)
How much longer will we have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?

Heaven could be here for us today
(It could be here)
How on earth could you turn me away?
(Don't turn me away) won't you go with me?
Help me find the key
How much longer will I have to wait
Here at Heaven's gate?
