Verse 1
A
I lie awake at night
D

and think back just as far as I can
D
To the sound of my father
D

To the thought of Sputnik in preflight
A
Before I could fashion my poverty
D
A
Before I mistrusted the night
D
I must have known something,
A
I must have known something
I said, why, Mama, why

Why can't I sleep in peace tonight

Underneath the satellite sky
It can't be easy for my children
D
A
I'm hollow before my time
D
A
It looks like the desert here to me
D
Where is the promise of
kingdoms of dreams
A
but there's trouble at home
D

They vanish in the mist like Saint Nicholas
D
And lie scattered in the ghettos
I said why, Mama, why

and listen to the stars

I want the spark to ignite

to be born into these times
