   E
  She's just a night bird flyin' through the night
  Fly on
  She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
  Sail on, sail on
  Yeah, yeah
               A       G     E               G             D       B
  Well, she's flyin' down to me, but 'til tomorrow got to set her free
  Set her free
  
  So all we got, baby, is one precious night
  All we got is one precious night
  Throw your blues and shoes and things
  and lay it down under the bed
  Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings,
  better hear what I say, yeah
  Oh, carry me home
  
  Please take me through your dreams,
  inside your world I want to be
  
  Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
  Hold on 'til the sun gets out of bed
  Hold on, hold on, baby
  Fly on baby
  
  (Solo)
  Sail on, sail on, sail on
  Sail on
  Rise on, take it
