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?
