In reply to the discussion: Name some great Moon songs, in honor of Neil Armstrong [View all]Waiting For Everyman
(9,385 posts)41. Tasmin Archer, "Sleeping Satellite" (1992).
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the Eagle's flight
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 Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the Seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
Have we lost what it takes to advance?
Have we peaked too soon?
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
For the price of it's greatest treasure
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the Eagle's flight
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 for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the Seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite
