mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart - satellite lyrics

[verse 1: mary chapin carpenter, mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
i’m all wires and aluminum
comet dust and nitrogen
i followed everyone’s command
first eighteen years were fine and grand
no space junk upon this ship
flyin’ high at thirty+six
without flash, without conceit
i’ve done all they asked of me

[chorus: mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
but every journey that begins should have an ending
beside this daily stream of data i keep sending
beyond the stars, where time and space are bending

[post+chorus: mary chapin carpenter]
i miss home

[verse 2: mary chapin carpenter]
liftoff august ’78
no malfunctions to relate
thirty billion miles i’ve come
all those trips around the sun
for my trials with ice and fire
they inked a deal that i’d retire
air and space wants me on view
on independence avenue
[chorus: mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
but the brass, they disapproved of my ambitions
after all these years of silence, i still listen
between fever dreams of static and transmissions

[post+chorus: mary chapin carpenter]
i miss home

[instrumental break: mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
ah
ah

[verse 3: mary chapin carpenter, mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
wave goodbye to what you know
don’t be sad to see it go
i passed the moon and earth today
was so close, so far away
thrusters useless, fuel used up
contact lost, completely fucked
unless they send someone at last
to try and catch me as i pass

[chorus: mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
while the final coordinates are pending
for the waves and flares and the fields, i will keep tending
every journey that begins should have an ending
[outro: mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart, mary chapin carpenter, julie fowlis & karine polwart]
every journey that begins should have an ending
every journey (every journey)
that begins (that begins should have an ending)
should have an ending (every journey)
every journey (that begins should have an ending)
that begins (every journey)
should have an ending
i miss home
