Walking On Air

King Crimson · In Concert: Tokyo 1995 [2009]

Close your eyes and look at me

I'll be standing by your side

In between the deep blue sea

And the sheltering sky

If we find no words to say

To the rhythm of the waves

Then we'll both surrender there

Walking on air



And the worries of the day lie down

Under cover of the fading clouds

The secrets of the night

Come alive in your eyes

You don't have to hurry

You don't have to try

You don't have a care

You're walking on air
