IM FLOATING ON CLOUDS AND 

TIPTOEING THROUGH THE SKY

IM FEELING THE RAIN AND

AND WHEN THOSE STORMY SEAS 

WHEN THEY FALL INTO ME 

ILL BE AWAITING YOU

LIKE A LOVE LIKE A LOVER IN THE NIGHT

 

(INSTRUMENTALS)

AND WHEN THOSE NIGHTS SHINE 

THESE STARS OF MINE

AND WHEN THE WORLD GROWS OLD 

ILL STILL HAVE YOU TO HOLD 

FROM THE BREATH OF THE SKY

 

AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES I WILL) 

AND ILL BE RUNNING (YES WE CAN)
