A          Bm    F#m
When I am fast asleep
    A        Bm      F#m            D
I dream and see you floating high above me
A       Bm     F#m
And I awake at dawn
   A        Bm     F#m                 D
Before the rays of morning paint the front lawn
A           Bm      F#m
From on the bedroom floor
   A         Bm      F#m           D
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

Chorus:
D      A  E
I can see
                   D        A    E
You above with the ocean around me
           D      A  E
If I could only stay
    F#m         D     A E
Overhead in the airway
     D      A   E
You sail through
                     D         A       E
Endless sky with the evening around you
             D       A  E
When I'm out on the bay
        F#m         D   A  E
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

The airway
You and I in the airway
Aloft in the airway
In love on the airway
