Notre Fils Tombé Songtext
von Gavin Castleton

Way out in the fields, where the sun was just setting
The boy did not hear them yell, "Supper is ready!"
He wandered out further, the pig sticking to him
His story continued, as if passing through him

We flew into the stratosphere
And landed on the moon at last
It wasn′t like the photographs
It wasn't quite a wild frontier


We lay inside a crater bed
With rockets blasting overhead
The planets sang a lullaby
As all the stars began to cry
"Ooooooooooooh!
Our star is home at last, notre fils tombé!
Our sorrows have now passed, notre fils tombé!"

But my star had seen how blue a blue can be
He said, "I really need my space, ma petite famille!"

They said, "Wait for the sun to set!
Don′t try to be so brave!
You've to stop and rest under celestial shade!
You're made of rock and ice
You′ll simply melt away
This moon is paradise - forget the light and stay
Forget the light and stay
Forget the light and stay
Forget the light and stay"
