Silver Bird

(album: UFO 2: Flying - 1971)

This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land
Lying there all still, lying there all quiet in the sand
A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground
And being the kind of person who isn't very easily alarmed
Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find

Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door
Knocking on the windows to see if I could find out more
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high fly me high, away

All of a sudden, the door slid back and someone was there
A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue
"Step inside, we'll take you away in our plane
We'll leave this earth, you never even will complain"

Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat
Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high, fly me high away, yeah
