Janis Ian
Orbiting Jupiter
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Ganymede and Io rising
Talk about a haloed moon
I am drifting wide-eyed listening
To the static in the solar tune
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Oh, I could testify all night
Rolling in the blue tide
Howling in the moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
Gazing on the gift we're given
A mystery from a magic storm
Turning to a secret rhythm
Nestled in the spiral arm
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I wanna see the world through other eyes
Some electron in the Milky Way
I wanna meet a man Orion's size
I wanna hear the giant lyre play
And Canis bay
[Chorus]
There's comfort in starlight
In moonlight guiding my way home
I'm falling for midnight
For lovely worlds of ice and stone
