walking through the fog today,
i felt her shadow slip across my face
(away in the sky)
she mesmerizes everyone she meets
with her glassy gaze
(while we are away in the sky)
and i asked her when will be the next time
that i can gaze into her eyes
maybe it will be tonight
when we are away in the sky
sitting in the park today,
i saw the clouds begin to chase away
the rain in the sky
the sun was on a holiday
and because it was gone,
we drew the shades
(away in the sky)
and i asked myself, "will it ever come back?"
as i sit on this floor alone and laugh
because i think i'd much rather the night
if i was away in the sky
while the stars are up in the sky
i gaze into their twinkling eyes
and every night, i sleep at their side
and i dream myself away into the sky...
