Singalong! Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer

This song somehow slipped into my subconscious in the 90s. I have no explicit memories of it, and yet when it came up on Spotify, my heart KNEW it, even though my brain didn't know the words. So now I need to catch my brain up with my heart and learn the words to Tasmin Archer's Sleeping Satellite.

SLEEPING SATELLITE

by Tasmin Archer

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagles' flights

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon?

Did we squander the chance?

In the rush of the race

The reason we chase is lost in romance

And still we try

To justify the waste

For a taste of man's greatest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagles' flights

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Have we got what it takes to advance?

Have we peaked too soon?

If the world is so great

Then why does it scream under a blue moon?

We wonder why

If the earth's sacrificed

For the price of its greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagles' flights

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

And when we shoot for the stars

What a giant step

Have we got what it takes

To carry the weight of this concept?

Or pass it by

Like a shot in the dark

Miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you sleeping satellite

I blame you for the moonlit sky

And the dream that died

With the eagles' flights

I blame you for the moonlit nights

When I wonder why

Are the seas still dry

Don't blame this sleeping satellite
