Alan Pring - The Jet Plane Lyrics

I saw it coming, that silver bird
With it's pointy nose and shiny wings
I counted three and then I heard
How that bird roars but it never sings
How that bird roars but it never sings

Shiny beast with silver scales
Rides across the summer sky
Becomes a dot, a tiny spot,
With a long white tail, a long white tail

Has someone pinned it away up there
On our clear bluest, truest sky?
Then inch-by-inch it draws away
How I wonder where it goes and why
How I wonder where it goes and why

Shiny beast with silver scales
Rides across the summer sky
Becomes a dot, a tiny spot,
With a long white tail, a long white tail

I've seen you coming back home at night
With your flashing eyes of both red and green
A moving star among the stars
Where did you go, and what have you seen?
Where did you go, and what have you seen?

Shiny beast with silver scales
Gliding through the starry night
Above the trees, beyond the moon
You've set my heart alight
You've set my heart alight
