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 thinkin' 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 shoppin' 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 darlin', she and I

We're hangin' on, so take us high

To sing the world goodbye

I am floatin' away

Lost in a silent ballet

I'm dreamin' 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 darlin', we're both on the wing

Look down and keep on singin'

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 tumblin' all alone?

I am floatin' away

Lost in a silent ballet

I'm dreamin' 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 darlin', we're both on the wing

Look down and keep on singin'

And we can go anywhere

(Are you there?)

Are you there?
