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?
