“Love By Satellite”

Remembering an old friend and chess partner and backyard cricketer, David Parker, still a great musician, and taking the opportunity to look down from satellite with fondness on some great New Zealand places, such as Riverton, Birdlings Flat, and home (near Karapiro)…

“Love by Satellite” by David Parker

Look out of sight on a moonlit night,
You can feel it breathing,
The night is breathing
Sending messages across the sky,
Written(??) on the air, the one receiving
I wonder if it’s cold tonight,
I want to be the one who’s holding you tight
I send my love by satellite
I send my love by satellite

Operator, would you clear the line?
I want to tell my baby that I miss her
Want to tell her things are going fine
But I really need to hug and kiss her
Won’t you tell her that it’s cold tonight
I want to be the one that’s holding you tight
I send my love by satellite
I send my love by satellite

Can you hear me on the air?

And all the stars, Venus and Mars,
I may as well be the man on the moon
You’re so far away
You’re so far away
You’re so far

Send my love by satellite

I send my love by satellite
I send my love by satellite…

Can you hear me on the air?
Can you hear me on the air…

I send my love by satellite
I send my love by satellite
