The warden who led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom. I stood up to say, goodbye like all the rest. And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell.
Silver wings. Shinning in the sunlight. Roaring engines. Headed somewhere in flight. Their taking you away. And leaving me lonely. Silver wings. Slowly fading out of sight.
I played a brand-new record on the jukebox. And I scarcely could believe the song I heard. It told of how you left me for another. It was almost like I'd written every word.
Someday when our dream world finds us. And these hard times are gone. We'll laugh and count our blessings. In a mansion all our own. If we both pull together, tomorrow's sure to come.

This old smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to. But I gave up my home to see you satisfied. And I just called to let you know where I'll be living.
