[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
