An early morning in '89
You swept across the atmosphere again
A satellite to breach through the sky
Flyby orbits, checking moons
You never left your sites too soon
Ida and Gaspar asteroids they broke their veils

Just tears for Galileo
(Oh I wanna shed my tears for Galileo)
Just tears for Galileo
(Oh how can this be tears for Galileo?)

I can't forget it, it's in my mind
September 21st '03 and then
I've never seen that spot anymore
Goodbye my old friend, farewell
On Jupiter you've found your end my friend
And everytime your data's keep reminding me

Just tears for Galileo
(Oh I wanna shed my tears for Galileo)
Just tears for Galileo
(Oh how can this be tears for Galileo?)

Another spacecraft in the night
Another voice from mankind
Another drop of water in this endlessness of time

Just Tears for Galileo
(Oh I wanna shed my tears for Galileo)
Just tears for Galileo
(Oh how can this be tears for Galileo?)
