So you're eager to fly on a silver wing

Come break of day you sailed on a silver wing

It was high over the housetops and the chimneys of this town

You made your getaway, and you never looked down

I mean so much failed and you counted on a silver wing

Came break of day and you slided on a silver wing

There was no time for eulogies

There was no time for song

They came around looking and you were already gone

Chorus:

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

When the morning sun climbs the hilltop

It's so damn easy to see

Some things must remain unsaid, wrapped in mystery

(chorus)

So bring me my arrow, you go and 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 my up like the first time

Though I wish I could deny

(chorus repeat)
