KT:

I don't know where it comes from, but I know Jen Ellen has a copy of the source -- she could tell ya. I only know it because it wasd on a tape she sent, and I don't even know who sang it!

But I do know the lyrics:

Casseiopea

Nighthawks glide in the darkness
The city lights far from their flight
A cloud silhouette hangs far to the West;
Above us, the clear Spring sky.

Casseiopea, dance with Orion tonight
Casseiopea, with the silvery light in your eyes

Hardly a car on the highway
hardly a light on the road
Just the ruby shine of coyote eyes
And the midnight stars al aglow.

Casseiopea, dance with Orion tonight
Casseiopea, with the silvery light in your eyes

Somewhere East of Othello,
I saw her black velvet gown
Strewn with thousands of rhinestones
And the North Star there in her crown.

Casseiopea, dance with Orion tonight
Casseiopea, with the silvery light in your eyes

Orion is the Bold Hunter
A sword with three stars he does bear
He beckons the lady to come to his side
"Your Majesty rise from your chair"

Casseiopea, dance with Orion tonight
Casseiopea, with the silvery light in your eyes
Casseiopea, dance with Orion tonight
Casseiopea, with the silvery light in your eyes

Casseiopea, you'll be dancing tonight
