Saturday Night Flight
With my eyelids shut,
I walk to our corner.
This place gives me peace
when nothing’s in order.
The streetlight
shines bright
when there's no light
in my life.
It's a Saturday night,
I think I´ve won this
week´s fight,
and suddenly you appear,
and we´re ready for
our flight.
The sun´s died down,
and the shroud of the night
shines in purple and blue.
It’s happening again,
that feeling’s begun.
That feeling I get
when your hand holds mine.
I look into your eyes,
you look into mine,
you don’t say a word,
you know I can hear you in my mind.
You say to me,
“Hold my hand,
and hold it tight,
all will be alright
tonight.”
Those gusts of wind
I’ve grown to love
start up once more.
I lose my footing,
but I don’t fall.
I have no sense
of weight at all.
As we embrace,
we seem to levitate.
my fear of heights
is set to the side,
because with you,
I’d be willing to go to
Hell and back.
We’re up by stories now,
and this one I’ll love
to tell.
It’s a different
kind of night,
it does shine very bright,
a new kind of daylight,
it’s a gorgeous delight.
Though not shining as bright
as your glistening eyes
looking up into
the infinite sky.
All my troubles are gone,
the stress in my life is absent,
it’s because I’m with you
and we’re still in our ascent.
I still hold your hand,
I never want to land.
I’ve had my share of falls,
and I don’t want to anymore.
Anything’s possible when
I’m with you.
I have strength when I’m with you.
All my sadness leaves when I’m
with you.
It’s you on who I depend,
and I don’t want this to
come to an
end.
We’re higher than
skyscrapers now,
no need to
ask how.
The night is purple
and blue,
they shine down
on you.
You’ve got me
possessed under
your subtle
caress.
The world won’t
understand,
and they’ll ask
us why.
And I’ll look down
upon them and answer:
“Because gravity could never hold us down,
turned into a smile what once was a frown.
If you leave in a moment, in your eyes I will drown”
So please,
take my hand,
and wear with me
this crown.
And you’ll look at me
with that enchanting smile,
and remind me that
we only have little time left.
We’d have
made it
damn near
the atmosphere.
Our gracious flight ends here,
in a couple of moments,
to the ground we’ll be near.
You know I hate
when it’s over
So you caress my cheek,
And finally
Yes, we finally
become one as
we finally
ki-
And my eyes open up,
I was deep in my head,
A tear streams down my cheek,
my hope is now dead.
I’m still here,
on the bench,
on our corner.
And I’ll be here.
Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.
I wish that this
daydream
never came to an
end.
