David Hallyday — Song of the astronaut lyrics

Lyrics

Look at my tail-lights burning
Don't know when I'm returning
Now you have left a space between us
That's so vast
Haven't a destination
Making an exploration
Into a universe where I can lose my past

You had to go spinning round the world
Beautiful satellite
Something elusive as you were
Beautiful satellite
Something so distant in my life
Beautiful satellite

Tell all my friends I'll miss them
Leaving your solar system
Bound for a better place
I don't need anyone
Hoping I will forget there
Maybe I'll never get there
Maybe I'll see you when I've flown right
Through the sun

You had to go spinning round the world
Beautiful satellite
Something elusive as you were
Beautiful satellite
Something so distant in my life
Beautiful satellite

Just when I think I've lost them
Houston we have a problem
I can see satellite

You had to go spinning round the world
Beautiful satellite
Something elusive as you were
Beautiful satellite
Something so distant in my life
Beautiful satellite
