The Airway

When I am fast asleep   I dream and see you floating high above me   And I awake at dawn   Before the rays of morning paint the front lawn   From on the bedroom floor   I watch you sailing far above the seashore   In deep Atlantic skies   You float as I look aft to watch the moon rise   Above the avenue   I search among the clouds trying to see you   But you are just a blur In the sky when you parachute over the harbor   I can see    You above with the ocean around me      If I could only stay    Overhead in the airway        You sail through   Endless sky with the evening around you    When I’m out on the bay     You’re aloft in the airway     When I’m alone at night    I dream you paint the stars against the twilight   Suspended in the air   I wish your silhouette would always stay there   When I am on the beach   I watch you held aloft way out of my reach   But I can not take flight   Or float upon the air the way that you might   When I am in the sea   You gazed down from the sky trying to see me   But I am just a blur Through the waves as I scuba dive below the harbor   Interlude : - -                 - -              - - -              - - The airway       You and I in the airway       Aloft in the airway       In love in the airway       I can see    You above with the ocean around me      If I could only stay   Overhead in the airway      You sail through   Endless sky with the evening around you   When I’m out on the bay     You’re aloft in the airway
