Turn me loose from your hands<br /> Let me fly to distant lands<br /> Over green fields, trees and mountains<br /> Flowers and forest fountains<br /> Home along the lanes of the skyway<br /> <br /> For this dark and lonely room<br /> Projects a shadow cast in gloom<br /> And my eyes are mirrors<br /> Of the world outside<br /> Thinking of the way<br /> That the wind can turn the tide<br /> And these shadows turn<br /> From purple into grey<br /> <br /> For just a Skyline Pigeon<br /> Dreaming of the open<br /> Waiting for the day<br /> He can spread his wings<br /> And fly away again<br /> Fly away skyline pigeon fly<br /> Towards the dreams<br /> You`ve left so very far behind<br /> <br /> Just let me wake up in the morning<br /> To the smell of new mown hay<br /> To laugh and cry, to live and die<br /> In the brightness of my day<br /> <br /> I want to hear the pealing bells<br /> Of distant churches sing<br /> But most of all please free me<br /> From this aching metal ring<br /> And open out this cage towards the sun
