Chicago Mountains

It's been so long, since I've seen you
My lighthouse beacon light
I'm a black hat-wearing loverboy
And I feel like flying tonight
Eye in the sky, silver and gold
The moon's smiling down on me
The weather is calm when I hold your hand
But inside, my heart has wings

I'm on the runway, waiting for takeoff
With the pigeons and the mourning doves
I'm flying over, the Chicago Mountains
High on your love

Neighborhood townships look like snow globe towns
Ants marching through the streets
The stock car headlights line the rows
Over there on LSD
Limestone, glass, and railroad steel
Skyscrapers glowing bright
There's nowhere else I'd rather be right now
Than right here by your side

I'm off the runway, taking off
With the pigeons and the mourning doves
I'm gliding over the Chicago Mountains
With only Heaven above

Twilight embers, glowing free
As the wind blows back your hair
I'm gently floating around the clouds
Like a plane taking off from O'Hare
Feathery softness, out in space
I could do this all night
To share this moment with you right now
I must have done something right

A charcoal canvas is coming fast
The golden hour's long gone
There's a sliver of sunlight, out in the west
A blue and pink horizon
With broad shoulders that built this town
I settle back down to Earth
And patiently plan out our next trek
Tranquilly floating north

My body's grounded, but my mind's still off
Exploring Saturn and space junk
I'm soaring over, the Chicago Mountains
Like I'm starstruck

I'm flying over the Chicago Mountains
High on your love
