Skyline Pigeon Lyrics by Elton John
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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

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
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   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      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
