Buffy Sainte Marie - "Moonshot"

Buffy Sainte Marie's "Moonshot" Lyrics

off into outer space you go my friends
we wish you bon voyage
and when you get there we will welcome you again
and still youll wonder at it all
see all the wonders that you leave behind
the wonders humble people own
I know a boy from a tribe so primitive
he can call me up without no telephone
see all the wonders that you leave behind
enshrined in some great hourglass
the noble tongues, the noble languages
entombed in some great english class
off into outer space you go my friends
we wish you bon voyage
and when you get there we will welcome you again
and still youll wonder at it all

(Instrumental)

an anthropologist he wrote a book
he called it myths of heaven
hes disappeared, his wife is all distraught
an angel came and got him
his hair was light, his eyes were love, his words were true,
his eys were lapis lazuli
he spoke in a language oh so primitive
that he made sense to me
off into outer space you go my friends
we wish you bon voyage
and when you get there we will welcome you again
and still youll wonder at it all

Oh Buffy! Way back when, then, I thought I was the only one who heard you. Now, some 40 yrs later some people are finally, finally hearing the nuances of the message your have been put on the planet to deliver. What took them soooo long? Perhaps it's not too late. Or is it?

@AtomikHypnosis It is never too late. Grace never ceases to touch lives. When the truth is heard, it inspires and transforms souls, that is, if people are honestly seeking the truth, than they will find it and they will never be the same again.

[jw8547]

this song is a cult classic played on juke boxes in the gay bars in n.y and boston

[minytaina]

 Yes they all connect like a network with each other like in the movie of Avatar and without a telephone!

@namesameasu In the early '70s she was still being suppressed by the U.S. gov't, and as she put it, "My career took a nosedive." At the time she assumed that tastes had simply changed, but she learned years later that other things were going on. . Some of my favorite songs by her are from the early '70s.
