Lyrics

Silver Wings

[Verse 1: Rosanne Cash]

Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away and leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading from sight

[Chorus: Rosanne Cash and Rufus Wainwright]

"Don't leave me," I cry

"Don't leave me," I cry

Don't take that airplane ride

Airplane ride

When you locked me out of your life

And left me standing here behind

[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash & Rufus Wainwright]

Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away and leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading from sight

[Chorus: Rosanne Cash and Rufus Wainwright]

"Don't leave me," I cry

"Don't leave me," I cry

Don't take that airplane ride

Airplane ride

When you locked me out of your life

And left me standing here behind

[Verse 3: Rosanne Cash Rufus Wainwright]

Silver wings shining in the sunlight

Roaring engines headed somewhere in flight

They're taking you away and leaving me lonely

Silver wings slowly fading from sight

Silver wings slowly fading from sight
