Lyrics
Come let's fly across Manhattan on a magic carpet ride
See the clouds are parting over this old city
and they've given me safe passage for the night
Take a hold with all of your might
All our children, they are sleeping
In the castle on white pillow way up high
Come on let's fly
And tomorrow, you'll be holding up their whole world
But not tonight... Be my lover tonight
All this time we have forgotten that all the pieces of our lives,
They come from one great stream of life
Raise a toast to all the seekers of the meaning and for beauty
And the friends we've left behind.
And the moon shows just a sliver of the feeling
I am rooting for your passion - I see it rising in the night - It's fiery red
And it reminds me how I loved you on the water the first time
In the sunshine of our lives until tonight - until tonight
Take a hold with all of your might
All our children, they are sleeping
In a castle on white pillow way up high
Come on let's fly
And tomorrow, you'll be holding up their whole world
But not tonight... Be my lover tonight
All my tries at loving you, do they fall?
Am I far behind? Have I lost you in the tide?
You're swimming in a stubborn sea.
Keep your eyes on me as I throw the line
Can I pull you from the water to the sky?
Take a hold with all of your might
All our children, they are sleeping
In a castle on white pillow way up high
Come on let's fly
And tomorrow, you'll be holding up their whole world
But not tonight... Be my lover tonight
