White Bird

White bird of the skyway, great silvery jet
Takes me from places I’ll never forget
From hills overlooking a vaste gleaming bay
My dear Coronado, a house on the cay

Winged ship of sweet journeys, dream maker of flight
Who carried me there in the dark of the night
Now takes me away from a place I adore
On the Mexican border and fringe of the shore

I once sailed the sea upon ripples and foam
And now sail the skies that are taking me home
I promise that soon I will come back to you
On a white bird that sails in a skyway of blue
