Silver Bird

I remember it well

I remember the night

When you came to the world

When you came to the light

But then

How is my child today?

Take a walk in the park

And watch the girls and boys

Take a look in the closet

And see all the toys

But then

How is my child today?

O, silver bird

Bound for the eastern skies

You take a piece of my heart

And now you’ve made me cry

O, silver bird

Bound for the eastern skies

See you slipping away

See you slipping away

Well we talked on the phone

Just the other day

And we both felt the pain

Of having nothing to say

But then

How is my child today?

Now I’ll always be yours

And you’ll always be mine

We’ll be together

Together in time

But then

How is my child today?

O, silver bird

Bound for the eastern skies

You take a piece of my heart

And now you’ve made me cry

O, silver bird

Bound for the eastern skies

See you slipping away

See you slipping away

See you slipping away

See you slipping away

See you slipping away
