See the silver bird on high

Gordon Lightfoot skrev den med tanke på dagar han hängt vid staketet vid LAX i början av 60-talet. Peter, Paul & Mary gjorde den känd i stora vida världen 1965/66 och här i Sverige gjordes den även av Rank Strangers, senare mer kända som Rankarna. Låten jag snackar om heter Early morning rain.

In the early morning rain, with a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go
But I'm stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow
Well the liquor tasted good and the women were all fast
There she goes my friend, o she's rolling now at last

Here the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She's away and westward bound, high above the clouds she'll fly
Where the early rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly use to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground, cold and drunk as I might be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain
