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
