GUEST,streetsinger Lyr Req: Orion (James Zimmerman) (6) Lyr Req: Song about Orion 15 Sep 07


I'm trying to find information about a song that I first heard at a summercamp in New Hampshire.   From a few other websites I've been able to gather most of the lyric, but don't know who wrote or sang it, and have no melodic info. Here is the lyric I've gather so far:
Orion is arisin'?I can see his stars ablazing?In the middle of a clearlit country sky.?And it's never too surprising?That the sky is still amazing?Way out here where nothing hides it from my eye.
And sleeping outside in a bag as a kid?It seems like the best thing that I ever did?And chasing the shadows and the tracks in the snow,?Don't you know?
The day is getting colder?And I really start to wonder?Why we're clouding all our country skies to gray.?The world is getting older?I can hear it in the thunder?And the rain might come and chase us all away.
And sleeping outside in a bag as a kid?It seems like the best thing that I ever did?And chasing the shadows and the tracks in the snow,?Don't you know?
The moon is on the wane,?And it looks like it might rain,?Or even snow.?And how are we to stay here?If there's no room left to play here?Or to grow??Don't you know??Don't you know?

If anyone has any info on this I'd love to find out!
