Tragically Hip - Silver Jet lyrics

rate me

There's a still in the night

a tuneless moonlight

just the I-need-you-and-here's-whys of

snoring Gords and Cheryls

there's a heron outside

in violet light

there's an urge to go, a shadow

a heightened air of peril

your heart jumps to

and my heart jumps too

I think, to myself "I don't really know my heart"

and as you whisper 'me too'

a silver jet roars overhead

rocks the nocturne all everglade

and grey sheers

silver jet, so far off already

ya fought the hot spurs off all the way

to Cape Spear

it's quiet again

when a car like Big Ben

it's radio dopplerin'

'...'and for all you Gregory Peck fans...

-Let Us Now Praise Famous Men-

to take some pressure off all the wonderous

to fight' and

your heart jumps to

and my heart jumps too

as if the Wolves of Northhumberland themselves

were rumoured to be en route

silver jet, way overhead

yer an archipelago, a satllite,

a green star

silver jet, so far off already

with your I-need-you-and-here's-why

flying to the next part

your heart jumps to

and my heart jumps too

I'm thinking, to myself, 'packing,is a secret heart'

and as you whisper, 'me too'

siler jet roars overhead

silver jet flying to the next part

silver jet so far off already

silver jet, a satellite, a green star

silver jet way overhead

silver jet evergladed grey sheers

silver jet, so far off already

silver jet Clayqout sound to Cape Spear
