Elton John - Skyline Pigeon (Live At Royal Festival Hall)

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
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left sovery far behind
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 hearthe pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all
Please free me from
this aching metal ring
And open out this cagetowards 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 sovery far behind
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so
very so very far behind
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
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left sovery far behind
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 hearthe pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all
Please free me from
this aching metal ring
And open out this cagetowards 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 sovery far behind
Fly away skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams
You've left so
very so very far behind
