Elton John - Skyline Pigeon (Live)

Turn me loose from your handsLet me fly to distant landsOver green fields, trees and mountainsFlowers and forest fountainsHome along the lanes of the skywayFor this dark and lonely roomProjects a shadow cast in gloomAnd my eyes are mirrors of the world outsideThinking of the way that the wind can turn the tideAnd these shadows turn from purple into greyFor just a Skyline PigeonDreaming of the openWaiting for the dayHe can spread his wingsFly away againFly away, skyline pigeon, flyTowards the dreams you've left so very far behindFly away, skyline pigeon, flyTowards the dreams you've left so very far behindJust let me wake up in the morning to the smell of new mown hayTo laugh and cry, to live and die in the brightness of my dayI wanna hear the pealing bells of distant churches singBut most of all, please free me from this aching metal ringAnd open out this cage towards the sunFor just a Skyline PigeonDreaming of the openWaiting for the dayHe can spread his wingsAnd fly away againFly away, skyline pigeon, flyTowards the things you've left so very far behindFly away, skyline pigeon, flyTowards the things you've left so very, so very far behind
