“Sleeping Satellite” was the debut single by the British singer-songwriter Tasmin Archer, released in 1992. The song peaked at no.1 in the UK, and was also an international hit.
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 greatest 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 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 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 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
