In the Air, Walking

We're walking in the air, we're floating in the midnight sky and everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

We're surfing in the air, we're swimming in the frozen sky; we're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly, swooping low over an ocean deep arousing mighty monsters from sleep

Children gaze, open mouthed, taken by surprise; nobody down below believes their eyes

Far across the world, the villages go by like dreams; the rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

I'm holding very tight, I'm riding in the midnight blue; I'm finding I can fly, so high above with you

We're walking in the air, were floating in the moonlit sky; the people far below are sleeping as we fly...

A reworking of the song "Walking in the Air" sung by Peter Auty for the 1982 film "The Snowman".
