SKID ROW (GARY MOORE) - Silver Bird Lyrics

(Brendan "Brush" Shiels/Noel Bridgeman/Gary Moore)

Can't seem to get everything about her.
What it is, I just don't know.
'Cause all I want is to be the mouse, girl,
Of our home, played nothing wrong.

Sometimes I want to be
Out in the wild beyond there.
Up in the clouds, shoutin' it out.
I'm not getting any younger.

Hell, I don't wanna die,
You know I don't wanna die.
But you know I do like to fly,
You know I do like to fly.

But I couldn't,
But then I wouldn't.
But then I can do
Everything I want to.

Get me your silver bird,
I'd jump right in,
Lay up on the wind.
Lord, just me.

You know some fools wanna keep on fading,
But their lifeshit's not for me.
Just look at all that super hyping
Everybody's paying to see.

Just feeling the warmth of my baby myself.
Why is it, I'm lurking?
If I'd been told that if I needed help
There'd be no one standin' by me.

Hell, I don't wanna cry,
You know I don't wanna cry.
But I can look you straight in the eye,
Look you straight in the eye.

And say I could be,
That I would be.
It's true, I can do
Everything I want to.

Get me your silver bird,
I'd jump right in,
Lay up on the wind.
Lord, sun me.

Sometimes I want to be
Out in the wild beyond there.
Up in the clouds, floatin' it out.
I'm not getting any younger.

Hell, I don't wanna die,
You know I don't wanna die.
You know I do like to fly,
You know I do like to fly.

But I couldn't,
'cause then I wouldn't.
But then I can do
Everything I want to.

Get me your silver bird,
I'd jump right in,
Float on the wind.
Lord, just me.
