Elegy for Laika and Albert II Lyrics

Each and every one of you will be buried in the ground

Where every last one of your species lies

Who will remember your names once you're gone?

I have written mine across the starry sky

And as the roaring stopped and I started to float

The stars grew so still and so close against the black

In all the cold nights I spent lonely, singing to the moon

I never thought I'd get to hear her sing back

In the quiet I heard my love singing back

You only of your dream, as lofty as the heavens

Mine was so simple, but you thought it too small

You took it and burned with the rocket kerosene

Save your tears, they mean nothing to me at all

And I'm racing so fast now, high above the clouds

Dancing above the green earth they look like little sheep

I swear I saw the moon smile at me as I chased them round the world

But it's getting warm now so I think I'll go to sleep

And my beloved moon will sing me to my sleep
