Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a still in the night, a tuneless moonlight
Just the I-need-you-and-here's-whys of snorin' Gord's and Cheryl's
There's a heron outside, in violet light
There's an urge to go, a shadow, a heightened air of peril
[Verse 2]
Your heart jumps too
And my heart jumps too
I think to myself, I don't really know my heart
As you whisper, me too
[Verse 3]
Silver jet roars overhead
Rocks the nocturnal everglade and grey sheers
Silver jet, so far off already
Fought the hot spurs off all the way to Cape Spear
[Verse 4]
It's quiet again, when a car like Big Ben
The radio doppler-in', for all you Gregory Peck fans
Let us now praise famous men
To take some pressure off the wondrous to fight and
[Verse 5]
Your heart jumps too
And my heart jumps too
As if the Wolves of Northumberland themselves
Were rumored to be en route
[Verse 6]
Silver jet, way overhead
You're an archipelago, a satellite, a green start
Silver jet, so far off already
With your I-need-you-and-here's-whys flyin' to the next part
[Verse 7]
Your heart jumps too
And my heart jumps too
I'm thinkin' to myself, packin' is a secret art
And as you whisper, me too
[Verse 8]
Silver jet (Roars overhead)
Silver jet (Flyin' to the next part)
Silver jet (So far off already)
Silver jet (A satellite, a green star)
[Verse 9]
Silver jet (Way overhead)
Silver jet (Evergladed grey sheers)
Silver jet (So far off already)
Silver jet (Clayqout Sound to Cape Spear)
