Satellite – Maggie Wing

Here’s a girl I’ll never be
Flying down the road
You beside me on the seat
Turning up the radio

La di dai dai dai dai
La di dai dai dai dai

Here’s a wish I’d never speak
But it might be worth a shot
Be my husband for a week
But let me keep the one I’ve got

A lifetime in seven days
The kids grow up and move away
And we still find things to say

I see you in my head with a coffee cup in a rumpled bed
The day rising hazy through the window
Someplace far away we wake together every day
And laugh about each other growing old

La di dai dai dai dai
La di dai dai dai dai

We live on a satellite
I see it spinning every night, high above the suburbs and the freeways
Back here on the ground I watch us sleeping upside down
And I’m glad to know we’re somewhere, anyway

And it all goes to hell from there
In the land of the high-tech millionaires
I concentrate on home repairs

Lai dai dee dai dai dai

Here’s a girl I’ll never be
Flying down the road
You beside me on the seat
Turning up the radio

La di dai dai dai dai
La di dai dai dai dai
