Get aboard the silver bird, departing gate 19
Satisfy your Walter Mitty mind, tryin' out a dream
Your sign is capricorn and every corner of your mind,
Says you'll remain my friend, my friend until your mine

Silver bird, fly my lady away,
Silver bird, take her over the bay,
Silver bird, give my lady a ride,
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away,
Pretty bird, today is the day

Lone rangers and strangers will knock at her door,
But I know my babys' no baby no more
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day

When you come home my crazy heart will greet those silver wings
Your pet dog will remember you, and I'll carry your things
We'll catch a runnin' make-up, and you will look just fine,
And you'll remain my friend, my friend until you're mine

Silver bird, fly my lady away
Silver bird, take her over the bay
Silver bird, give my lady a ride,
And let her go see what's on the other side
Silver bird, fly my lady away
Pretty bird, today is the day
