Sky Sailing- Sailboats
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
Floating softly in the sky
Among our dreams that pay goodbye
Moving through transparent space,
Drifting through the stratosphere
And onward'till they disappear
These continents from overhead
Look like tiny paper shapes
Intricately set in place
Below the misty mountain clouds
Theres a lovely silver bay
Where sunset sailors often hideaway
Scuba diver in the lock,
Speedboat driver on the dock
Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you
The world looks brighter from this high altitude
I was walking through the trees(Sailboats wish they were stars)
And I was swimming through the sea(Cause they don't know who they are)
I was falling through the air
When it hit me right there...
My eyes are tired; I don't even care
An airplane carried me to bed,
Where i slept above the coast
And dreamt I had become a ghost
I sail above the frozen peaks,
Deep in cold cathedral caves
Across the hills and far beyond the waves
Take the car on the lawn
Fly the jet to the sun
And bring the spacecraft
'n soon while I play chess with the moon
I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon
Once in 1964(Sailboats wish they were stars)
An actress ran on the shore(Cause they don't know who they are)
And though you'll never return,
I love you Audrey Hepburn
Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd
There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky
But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly
I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
If I go up there
If you want to just ask me and I will take you along..
备注部分:
事实上Sky Sailing的成立要早于Owl City。有别于Owl City的音乐形式,Sky Sailing更偏重于原音吉他与钢琴的融合。可以这么理解,Sky Sailing是Owl City的不插电版本。
新专辑[An Airplane Carried Me To Bed]中的歌曲实际上是在07年夏天,也就是在Owl City还没走红之前就已录制完成了。如今Owl City大受欢迎,Adam也觉得是时候将这些早期作品发表,并“重新润色”,让他的忠实歌迷们感受一个有别于Owl City的Adam Young。
