Intro:
Bb D# F Bb (x6)
Verse 1:
Bb F Cm
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky,
D#
And we'll stir the stars
Bb F Cm
Around and watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
D# F
And plummet out of sight and
Bb F Cm
Sound. The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
D#
Where I live in the Alpine
Bb F Cm
Heights below the northern lights. I spend my coldest nights
D# F Bb D#
Alone awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love.
Bride 1:
Bb D# F Bb (x4)
Verse 2 (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.
Chorus:
D# Bb F
I am floating away,
D# Bb F
Lost in a silent ballet.
D# Bb F Bb
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you.
D# Bb F Bb
Awake to take in the view.
D# Bb F
Late nights and early parades,
D# Bb F
Still photos and noisy arcades.
D# Bb F Bb
My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing,
D# Bb F Bb
And we can go anywhere
Bridge 2:
D# Bb F
Are you there?
D# Bb F Bb
Are you there, or are you just a decoy
D# Bb F
Dream in my head?
D# F D# Bb
Am I home or am I simply
D# Bb F
Tumbling out alone?
