The Ghost Of Flight 401

Written by bob welch.





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
