We're walking in the air

We're floating in the moonlit sky
Em
The people down below
G                        Bm
Are sleeping as we fly

I'm riding in the midnight blue

I'm finding it hard to fly

So high above with you

Far across the world

Taken by surprise

Believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air

We're swimming in the frozen sky

Oh, we're drifting over

icy mountains floating by

We're walking in the air

We're floating in the midnight sky

Oh, and everyone who sees

us greets us as we fly
