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)
