Lyrics
I know that I’ve stayed away for too long
I’ve missed the sweet love you give me
No other woman could warm me inside
I need you much more than I realized.
On the wings of a silverbird
I’m flying home to you
On the wings of a silverbird
I’ll soon be holding you.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
You send me letters to help time go by
I call your name while I’m dreaming.
I need to feel you I long for your touch
I wanna tell you
I love you so much.
On the wings of a silverbird
I’m flying home to you
On the wings of a silverbird
I’ll soon be holding you.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay
I’ll keep your picture
To kiss and say good night
But I wanna hold you forever.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
So wipe all those tears away
I’m coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
