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)
