On The Wing

Breathe and I'll carry you away
Into the velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away
Into the Hudson Bay
And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze
Will sweep you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights
I spend my coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of
The weekend we were in love

(The weekend we were in love)

Home among these mountain tops
Can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls
Of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed
Over the promenade
'Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky
My darling, she and I
We're hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye

I am floating away
Lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue
And I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades
Still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing
And we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there
Or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone?

I am floating away
Lost in a silent ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue
And I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades
Still photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing
And we can go anywhere

Are you there?
Are you there?
