Best of Tasmin Archer

I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died with the eagles' flight.
I blame you for the moonlit nights when
I wonder why are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite.

Did we fly to the moon too soon,
did we squander the chance in the rush of the race,
the reason we chase is lost in romance.
And still we try to justify the waste for a taste
of man's greatest adventure oh.

Have we got what it takes to advance?
Have we peaked too soon?
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
If the earth's sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure.

Did we fly to the moon too soon,
did we squander the chance in the rush of the race,
the reason we chase is lost in romance.
And still we try to justify the waste for a taste
of man's greatest adventure oh.

And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step;
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept
Or pass it by?
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure.

Did we fly to the moon too soon,
did we squander the chance in the rush of the race,
the reason we chase is lost in romance.
And still we try to justify the waste for a taste
of man's greatest adventure oh.

I realise something's not in your favour
Arienne
I'll catch you when you fall

You turn in the world
The world turns grey
All alone
On your own
You're set in your ways

You breathe in a smile
Then wipe it away
Broken heart
Torn apart
And let down again

Arienne
I realise something's not in your favour
Arienne
I'll catch you when you fall

The view from the hill
Is not what it seems
From below
Don't you know
It's all in your dreams

Arienne
I realise something's not in your favour
Arienne
I'll catch you when you fall

Oh it's true
Oh it's true
I'll catch you when you fall

Arienne
I realise something's not in your favour
Arienne
I'll catch you when you fall
Arienne
I realise something's not in your favour
Arienne
I'll catch you when you fall
You fall...

Here's the man whose voice speaks for everyone
And whose actions touch the lives of us all
He rose with energy and style
Shake my hand, kiss my child
Sway us all with your smile
He readily accepts acclaim
But soon forgets that he came
From the back streets like them

So we pray to the east
We pray to the west
And we see the gods of the new church
As they undertake their vow
Tell me who can save us now?
Save us from the lords of the new church
Don't say no

Here's the man some believe is a visionary
Here's the man who is driven by greed
He made a fortune overnight
In a deal that he knew
Was too good to be true
Now as he bends the rules of play
Becomes obsessed with the game
Has to go all the way

So we pray to the east
We pray to the west
And we see the gods of the new church
As they undertake their vow
Tell me who can save us now?
Save us from the lords of the new church
Don't say no

They feast and they fly
While we pay the real price
But what price do we place on life?

So we pray to the east
We pray to the west
And we see the gods of the new church
As they undertake their vow
Tell me who can save us now?
Save us from the lords of the new church
Don't say no
