rocking fast, spacy, this song used to knock 'em dead when we played it live. I recently unearthed the studio demo of it. Will upload that one soon.

Story behind the song
JOHN, JEFF & I ALSO DID THIS IN AVALON USA
Lyrics
SILVERBIRD
SILVERBIRD I CAN SEE SO FAR WAY
FLYING UP IN THE SKY SO FREE
NOTHING TO KEEP YOU DOWN NOW
FLYING SO FREE AND EASY
YOUR WINGS HAVE TOUCHED THE SUN ON HIGH
AND YOUVE TASTED THE WINTERS OF YEARS GONE BY
HIGH UP WHERE YOU ROAM, YOU FLY
AND YOU NEVER WHISPER YOU CRY!
IM SILVERBIRD AN I RULE THE SKY
I CLIMB EVERY PEAK AND SURE IS MY EYE I CAN SEE FOREVER ON A CLOUDLESS NIGHT I CAN SEE THE SUNLIGHT DANCING IN ITS OWN LIGHT!
SILVERBIRD WILL YOU TAKE ME WITH YOU, TO THE LOFTY HEIGHTS SO PURE? LET ME SEE THE GRAND BEGINNINGS, JUST TO MAKE ME SURE
YOUR MIGHT HAS BEEN CHALLENGED MANY TIME BUT YOU NEVER LOSE
YOUR WAY
YOU NEVER SEEK VENGEANCE FOR THEIR CRIMES, YOU LET THEM GO AWAY
YOU SAY
IM SILVERBIRD I RULE THE SKY IVE CLIMBED EVERY PEAK AND AS SURE IS MY EYE I CAN SEE FOREVER ON A CLOUDLESS NIGHT I CAN SEE THE SUNLIGHT DANCING IN ITS OWN LIGHT!
IM SILVERBIRD AND I DRINK THE WATER AT RHE BASE OF THE ICE ON THE PEAKS SO HIGH, IM SILVERBIRD AND I RULE THE WORLD IN THE LIFETIME OF ALL THAT LIES BELOW!
