A#                           F           Cm
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky
    D#                    A#
And we'll stir the stars around
                      F           Cm
And watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
     D#             F        A#
And plummet out of sight and sound
                   F                   Cm
The open summer breeze will sweep you through
the hills
      D#                    A#
Where I live in the alpine heights
                    F
Below the Northern Lights,
           Cm
I spend my coldest nights
 D#                F      Gm7             D#
Alone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were
    A#
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
'Cause 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

Chorus:
D#    A#        F
I am floating away
D#         A#        F
Lost in a silent ballet
     D#              A#          F
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and
      Gm7          D#
I am right beside you
          A#          F
Awake to take in the view
D#              A#       F
Late nights and early parades
       D#         A#      F
Still photos and noisy arcades
    D#             A#          F
My darling, we're both on the wing,
              Gm7             D#
look down and keep on singing!
           A#      F
And we can go anywhere

         D#             A#              F
Are you there (are you there, are you there,
are you there)?
         D#             A#
Are you there (are you there),
   Gm7              F    Cm  A#      F
or are you just a decoy dream in my head?
D#    F       Gm7  A#     D#       A#    F
Am I home, or am I simply tumbling all alone?

Chorus
I am floating away (floating away)
Lost in a silent ballet (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 (early parades)
Still photos and noisy arcades (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? Are you there? Are you there?)
Are you there?
(Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?)
