Lyrics Cheryl Wheeler

Cheryl Wheeler

Orbiting Jupiter

Orbiting Jupiter with telescopic eyes

Floating in the wonder of the weightless world

Watching all the planets rise

Gazing through the asteroid belt

Out beyond night and day

And seeing with my own eyes

The cosmic ballet

Ganymede and Io rising

Talk about a hallowed moon

I am drifting wide-eyed listenin'

To the static in the solar tune

There's comfort in starlight

In moonlight guiding my way home

I'm falling for midnight

For lovely worlds of ice and stone

And I am alone tonight

Orbiting Jupiter

And sailing on my own

Headed for the heavens of the blue green world

I'm dreaming of home

Witness to the miracle

I could testify all night

Rolling in the blue tide

Howling in the moonlight

Gazing on the gift we're given

A mystery from a magic storm

Turning to the secret rhythm

Nestled in the spiral arm

There's comfort in starlight

In moonlight guiding my way home

I'm falling for midnight

For lovely worlds of ice and stone

And I am alone tonight

I want to see the world through other eyes

Some electron in the Milky Way

I want to meet a man Orion's size

I want to hear the giant lyre play

And Canis bay

There's comfort in starlight

In moonlight guiding my way home

I'm falling for midnight

For lovely worlds of ice and stone
