You've had about the flying dutchman |
|
The ghost of all the ships at sea |
|
But just in case you think it's lies |
|
Then here's a ghost for our own time |
|
You see there was a crash at night |
|
And the pilots in command all died |
|
And after many months has passed |
|
The widows all had cried their last |
|
(chorus) |
|
And when the moon shines on the silver wing |
|
When the moon shines on the silver wing |
|
When the moon shines, look out here comes the ghost of flight 401... |
|
The ghost of flight 401, appeared aboard the jet airplanes |
|
In flesh & blood & clothes he came |
|
On an eastern airline i can't name |
|
But suddenly the ghost appeared |
|
Of the pilots that had died that year |
|
I'm not saying they were puffs of smoke |
|
They were real as life, it ain't no joke |
|
(repeat chorus) |
|
Ooh those silver wings |
|
Yeah those silver wings |
|
Yeah there shinin' in that sun |
|
The ghost of flight 401 |
