It's so late
A shooting star crosses the sky A satellite follows behind
The blue twilight and hazy dawn are by her side
High plains and prairie slide in the twilight of earth below
What's beyond her galaxy? She can just guess and almost see
Satellite, finding your way
All alone out in space
Oh oh, satellite
Oh oh, satellite
It's so late a shooting star changes the night, forcing a light
The moment's gone A yellowy dawn casts a light she orbits on
Satellite, finding your way
All alone out in space
Oh oh, satellite
Oh oh, satellite
She can see beyond her time and place,
Beyond the black of space,
It all belongs to her forever, forever
Oh oh, satellite
Oh oh, satellite
