  1. Lyrics

    We're walking in the air
    We're floating in the moonlit sky
    The people far below are sleeping as we fly

    I'm holding very tight
    I'm riding in the midnight blue
    I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

    Far across the world
    The villages go by like dreams
    The rivers and the hills
    The forests and the streams

    Children gaze open mouth
    Taken by surprise
    Nobody down below believes their eyes

    We're surffing in the air
    We're swimming in the frozen sky
    We're drifting over icy
    Mountain floating by

    Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
    Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

    We're walking in the air
    We're floating in the midnight sky
    And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

  11. This is the original version of the song. It was Peter Auty's voice. His voice had broken, preventing him performing it since then. Aled Jones (who's younger) later released it as a single and took all the fame.
