I'm out here listening to the stars The city's always screaming but this quiet world is ours And I do my best to pick up on the whispers that they've told They're spinning ancient stories from worlds I'll never know Oh Orion point me home I can't trust the Dippers yeah they'll talk to anyone And I know where I'm headed just don't know which way to go And you're like a distant brother that I want to get to know I'm out here trekking through the night The Smokies feel more lonely in the pale of the moonlight But Lyra's up there playing and I'm singing with her strings In the empty of the valleys the echoes bounce and ring Oh Orion hold me close Gemini's being two-faced but I probably should've known And I know where I'm headed but I can't seem to find the road And I'm trying hard to trust you but I'm scared of the unknown I'm out here riding on the rails You know how I'm a dreamer and I'm feeling like I've failed Never thought that I might get here at least not quite so low But I guess I'll keep on riding find out where the tracks go Oh Orion where'd you go My body's getting weary and the air is getting cold Thought I knew where I was headed but I guess I didn't know And I thought that I could trust you but you were putting on a show
