Skyline Pigeon Lyrics - Empty Sky - Elton John

Turn me loose from your hands 

Let me fly to distant lands 

Over green fields, trees and mountains 

Flowers and forest fountains 

Home along the lanes of the skyway 

For this dark and lonely room 

Projects a shadow cast in gloom 

And my eyes are mirrors 

Of the world outside 

Thinking of the way 

That the wind can turn the tide 

And these shadows turn

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

From purple into grey 

For just a Skyline Pigeon 

Dreaming of the open 

Waiting for the day 

He can spread his wings 

And fly away again 

Fly away skyline pigeon fly 

Towards the dreams 

You've left so very far behind 

Fly away skyline pigeon fly 

Towards the dreams 

You've left so very far behind 

Just let me wake up in the morning 

To the smell of new mown hay 

To laugh and cry, to live and die 

In the brightness of my day 

I want to hear the pealing bells 

Of distant churches sing 

But most of all please free me 

From this aching metal ring 

And open out this cage towards the sun 

For just a Skyline Pigeon 

Dreaming of the open 

Waiting for the day 

He can spread his wings 

And fly away again 

Fly away skyline pigeon fly 

Towards the dreams 

You've left so very far behind 

Fly away skyline pigeon fly 

Towards the dreams 

You've left so very, so very far behind
