Long before I came to New York City
I had left my man some way back home
Heaven knows, that live can be a pity
Without this man of mine
the sun ain't gonna shine.
(Chorus:)
Silver bird, Silver bird, Silver bird, keep on flying
Silver bird, Silver bird, Silver bird, my heart's sighing
Silver bird, Silver bird, Silver bird, oh, he's waiting
He'll wait for me 'til I come back home
Long time he was alone.
Deep inside I feel the good vibration
I can smell the green, green grass of home
I can't wait no more, I've lost my patience
Oh heaven, can't you see
what's going on with me.
Chorus (bis)
