On The Wing

(Bb)Breathe, and I'll carry you away into the (Cm)velvet sky,

and (Eb)we'll stir the stars around,

and watch them fall away into the (Cm)Hudson Bay,

and (Eb)plummet out of (F)sight and sound.

The open summer breeze will sweep you (Cm)through the hills,

where (Eb)I live in the alpine heights,

below the Northern (F)Lights, I spend my (Cm)coldest nights (Eb)alone,

awake, and (F)thinking of the weekend (Eb)we were in love.

(Bb)Home, a I'll mong these mountaintops can be so (Cm)awf'lly dull,

a (Eb)thousand miles from the tide,

but photos on the walls of New York (Cm)shopping malls (Eb)distract me,

so I (F)stay inside.

I wish the rockets stayed over the (Cm)promenade,

'cause (Eb)I would make a hook and eye and fish them from the (F)sky,

my darling, (Cm)she and I, we're (Eb)hanging on,

so (F)take us high the weekend (Eb)we were in love.

(Gm)to sing the (Eb)world goodbye.

I am (Bb)floating away, (Eb)lost in a (Bb)silent ballet.

I'm (Eb)dreaming you're (Bb)out in the blue,

and I am (Gm)right beside you,

(Eb)awake to (Bb)take in the view.

(Eb)Late nights and (Bb)early parades, still (Eb)photos and (Bb)noisy arcades.

My (Eb)darling, we're (Bb)both on the wing,

look down and (Gm)keep on singing,

(Eb)and we can (Bb)go anywhere.

Are you there?

Are you there,

or (Gm)are you just a (F)decoy (Cm)dream (Bb)in my head?

(Eb)Am I (F)home;

or (Gm)am I (Bb)simply (Eb)tumbling (Bb)all alone?

(F)Are you there?
