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 cannot take flight

Or float upon the air the way that you might

When I am in the sea

You gaze 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

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
