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 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 Ooh those silver wings Yeah those silver wings Yeah there shinin' in that sun The ghost of flight 401
