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.
Bride 1:
same as Verse 1):
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
'Cuz I would make a hook, and
I fish them from the sky. My darling she and I
Were 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 out alone?
(synth)
Bride 1:
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?
(fades out)
