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 above 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
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
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 above 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
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

"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"
Imagine that this takes place by the ocean. As the sun sets into the ocean, the moon rises and sails through the sky. It's the same again later in the song, just reversed. The two are in The Airway (i.e. life) but only catch glimpses of each other as life and time keep them apart. While one is in the sky flying, the other cannot take flight because of the way the world works. These lovers would be together if they could, but life prevents them from doing so.
Endless sky with the evening around you" this is obviously referring to a bird. "When I'm out on the bay".

It sounds sort of silly, but it sounds as if he loves the sun, because it brings him new days. He wishes the sun would never go away, and he wishes that he could go up into the airway and keep it there.
"When I'm alone at night
I dream you paint the stars against the twilight"
He is comforted by the sun, so he dreams that it creates the stars just so he can still have a shred of sun even at night.
I hope that made sense. :P
when the sun is asleep, the moon is up, but when he comes up the moon is going down.
He can see her in the sky when the the ocean is all around him.
either that or it is a fish and a bird, either way, this is a brillantly written song
I could be totally off, but its just my perspective on it.
I'm thinking that they're seperated the sea, like maybe she's on vacation/lives in Europe while he's in America or something. And then I thought that "the ariway" could symbolize telephone communication. Because a lot of people envision talking on the phone as having their words float in the air into the ear of the person they're talking to. So "being in love on the airway" could be them falling in love with each other over the telephone.
Just my interpretation. This song is really cute...I'm surprised it doesn't have any more comments, actually. It's the first I ever heard by him.
its about being in love.
its about being in love.
