Sitting here, me and Chris's son
We've got a story to strike you down
About a girl with the light in her eyes

Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry
Sitting here, waiting for the sun

Little darling, for you to come
By the light of the moon flashing by
Black on the night, drive on the day

Let the wheels run dry

Fly on by silver bird in the sky

Fly on day, black on night, roll on by
Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes
Fly on by silver bird


Sitting here in the early grey
Of a Delph town morning, we sit and pray

For a sight of the light in her eyes
Black on the night, drive on the day
Let the wheels run dry


Fly on by silver bird in the sky
Fly on day, black on night, roll on by

Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes
Fly on by silver bird
