We rode on the air then
Freer than birds, and lighter than feathers
We hadn’t a care in the whole of the night
The world was a playground, a storyteller’s delight
As the embers burned low we remained by their side
Too many words to leave as our fire died
It was then we made magic, together our voices
Danced among stars, ships, and rare choices
We caught lightening with our paper planes
And did the impossible, we did the insane
As night turned to day and sunlight flew down
We lay there together, hushed, not a sound
The moment too precious to squander away
There would be time for our words to play
In the blue morning light together we stayed
Hoping, wishing, praying never to fade
We found perfection there in the dew
You and me, me and you

We rode on the air then
Freer than birds, and lighter than feathers
We hadn’t a care in the whole of the night
The world was a playground, a storyteller’s delight
As the embers burned low we remained by their side
Too many words to leave as our fire died
It was then we made magic, together our voices
Danced among stars, ships, and rare choices
We caught lightening with our paper planes
And did the impossible, we did the insane
As night turned to day and sunlight flew down
We lay there together, hushed, not a sound
The moment too precious to squander away
There would be time for our words to play
In the blue morning light together we stayed
Hoping, wishing, praying never to fade
We found perfection there in the dew
You and me, me and you
