Silver Jet Lyrics - Tragically Hip

There's a still in the night, a tuneless moonlight 

Just the I-need-you-and-here's-whys of snoring Gords and Cheryls 

There's a heron outside, in violet light 

There's an urge to go, a shadow, a heightened air of peril 

Your heart jumps to 

And my heart jumps too 

I think to myself "I don't really know my heart" 

As you whisper "me too" 

A silver jet roars overhead 

Rocks the nocturne all everglade and grey sheers 

A silver jet, so far off already 

Fought the hot spurs off all the way to Cape Spear

It's quiet again, when a car like Big Ben 

The radio dopplering, for all you Gregory Peck fans 

Let Us Now Praise Famous Men 

To take some pressure off the wonderous to fight and 

Your heart jumps to 

And my heart jumps too 

As if the Wolves of Northhumberland themselves 

Were rumoured to be en route 

A silver jet, way overhead 

You're an archipelago, a satellite, a green star 

A silver jet, so far off already 

With your I-need-you-and-here's-why flying to the next part 

Your heart jumps to 

And my heart jumps too 

I'm thinking to myself "packing is a secret art" 

And as you whisper "me too"

A silver jet roars overhead 

A silver jet, flying to the next part 

A silver jet, so far off already 

A silver jet, a satellite, a green star 

A silver jet, way overhead 

A silver jet, evergladed grey sheers 

A silver jet, so far off already 

A silver jet, Clayqout sound to Cape Spear
