Walking in the Air (from The Snowman)
Howard David Blake
We're walking in the air'
We're floating in the moonlit sky;
The people far below
Are sleeping as we fly.
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly
So high above with you.
On across the world
The villages go by like dreams,
The rivers and the hills,
The forests and the streams.
Children gaze open mouthed,
Taken by surprise;
Nobody down below
Believes their eyes.
We're surfing in the air,
We're swimming in the frozen sky,
We're drifting over icy
Mountains floating by.
Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep,
Rousing up a mighty monster
From his sleep.
We're walking in the air,
We're dancing in the midnight sky
