I was a young boy 
Yeah she was young too 
So in love but they don't understand 
Games that we played 

Blue shadows in a doorway 
Stealing time forbidden kisses 
I wanted to stay but I had to go away 

[Chorus] 
Silverbird come take me home to you 
Silverbird come take me home to you 

Well it's been five years 
Unjustified years 
Other girls that just don't make it 
Face to face with you 
Red sunset through my window 
I won't sleep tonight I'm coming home 
Please let it be that you're waiting there for me 

[Chorus]
