So you're eager to fly on a silver wing

Left soon in the morning on a silver wing

It was high over housetops and the chimneys of this town

You made your getaway, and you never looked down



I mean all else failed and you counted on a silver wing

Came break of day and you sailed on a silver wing

There was no time for eulogies 

There was no time for song

They came round looking and you were already gone



But I love you Cordelia tell the world I do

There ain't nobody like me gonna see you through

They'll be blinding you Cordelia, trying to get you in a sway

But I'm watching you every step of the way



And the poets in the valley, they shake their heads

They're scribbling on their tablets, but their words can't be read

Cause when the morning sun climbs the hilltop it's so easy to see

Some things must remain unsaid, wrapped in mystery



So bring me my arrow, go get my bow

I've got business to tend to, I can't stand to see you go

They'll be talking about you Cordelia, every once in a while

And it stirs me up like the first time

Though I wish I could deny it
