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

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

Cuz 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?
