I can understand

The rain that falls

Waves that crash upon the shore

And I know that everyone

Must have freedom today

And baby in my dreams I see

I see you walking away



I can understand the moon and stars

(understand moon and stars)

Wonders of this world of ours

(wondrous world of ours)

And I see the fire of life

Burning brighter each day

And baby in my dreams I see

I see you walking away (walking away)

So far away (so far away)

I see you walking away (walking away)



So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)

You know that I

Am waiting for you

And everywhere you go

I'm with you still (fly silverbird)

I know you will

Return someday

And through the rain and the snow (and the snow)

When there's nowhere left to go

I hope you'll stay

Oh darling, now I understand

And I'm home to stay



When I close my eyes, I see you there

(close my eyes, see you there)

In everyone and everywhere (everyone, everywhere)

And I feel the power of love

Like an ocean today

And baby in my dreams I see

I see you walking away (walking away)

So far away (so far away)

I see you walking away (walking away)



So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)

You know that I

Am waiting for you

And everywhere you go

I'm with you still (fly

silverbird)

I know you will

Return someday

And through the rain and the snow (and the snow)

When there's nowhere left to go

I hope you'll stay

Oh darling, now I understand

And I'm home to stay



So fly, my silverbird (fly silverbird)

You know that I

Am waiting for you

And everywhere you go

I'm with you still (fly

silverbird)

I know you will

Return someday

And through the rain and the snow (and the snow)

When there's nowhere left to go

I hope you'll stay

Oh darling, now I understand

And I'm home to stay



And through the rain and the snow (and the snow)

When there's nowhere left to go

I hope you'll stay

Oh darling, now I understand

And I'm home to stay



(oh, oh, oh my silverbird, come on home to stay) repeat and fade
