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
    Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
    Distract me so I stay inside
    I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cause I would make a hook
    And I can 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)
    (Are you there)
    (Are you there)
    Are you there
    (Are you there)
    (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
    (Floating away)
    Lost in a silent ballet
    (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
    (Early parades)
    Still photos and noisy arcades
    (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)
    (Are you there)
    (Are you there)
    Are you there
    (Are you there)
    (Are you there)
