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
