Tasmin Archer – Sleeping Satellite lyrics
I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles 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 gratest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles 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 got what it takes to advance?
Have we peak 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 it's greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died
With the eagles 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 eagles flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

    The lyrics obviously refer to the Apollo 11 mission and the Moon landing. The lyrics imply that the Moon is less mysterious and poetic since we visited it. 'Dry seas' are of course lunar 'maria' - dark areas on the Moon's surface (with no water, of course). 'Eagle's flight' is an allusion to the landing module, which was called Eagle, as we know. 'Did we fly to the Moon too soon' and the following lines ('in the rush of the race the reason we chase') refer to so-called Space Race. The words ''And when we shoot for the stars/What a giant step'' are reminiscent of what Neil Armstrong said about "one small step for a man, and one giant leap for mankind."
