Silent Key
On the 28th of January 1986 Christa McAuliffe gazed in horror as the O-rings failed And she died, and she died, and she died For the next agonising two minutes and forty five seconds She called out the truth on a broken radio "I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive!" It came as some surprise to realise that as she lost everything The world was revealing a transmission so real that she understood everything You're still alive, you're still alive Four thousand nautical miles as the crow flies away A home made HAM radio In the loft of a Hampshire family home Came alive, came alive, came alive And so the poor old amateur operator thus became the only person to hear Christa's last desperate communique "We''re alive, we're alive, we're alive" It came as some surprise to realise what he didn't catch everything The world was revealing a transmission so real that he understood everything You're still alive And Christa said "The darkness up above Led me on like unrequited love Letras de cancionesWhile all the things I need Were down here in the deep blue sea The darkness up above Led me on like unrequited love While all the things I need Were down here in the deep blue sea The darkness up above Led me on like unrequited love While all the things I need Were down here in the deep blue sea All those years, all they are The truth on my radio So now I keep a global silence for my silent key My silent key My silent key My silent key From Letras Mania
