James Wotal - Observatory Lyrics

Astronomers stand around me, staring at the sky
Wondering if the stars will shine, tonight
I sit here in the corner, playing my guitar
While people stand in line to see, the stars
I hope they get to see, what they came to see
The starry light, that shines at night
Venus and Mars, a distant galaxy
And so much more, at the Observatory

Astronomers gather round me, as day light turns to eve
As I sing about moon shadows, and space oddities
Lines begin to form, as they wait, to take a turn
To see the rings, of Saturn
I hope they get to see, what they came to see
And stop and wonder why, stars shine so bright
M thirty three, Sombrero galaxy
So much to see, at the Observatory

Everyone scales the ladder, to climb inside the dome
To take a peek through, the telescope
And in the total darkness, I often hear them sigh
As they look up to see, the distant light
I sit here playing my guitar, as the evening passes on
And people stop to listen, as I sing my song
But they come to see the Moon, and the distant galaxy
And so much more, at the Observatory
