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
