Turn me loose from your hands Let fly to distant lands Over green fields, trees and mountains Flowers and forest Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room Projects a shadow cast in gloom And my are mirrors Of the world 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 Waiting the day He can spread his wings And fly away again Fly away skyline pigeon Towards the dreams You've left so very far behind
Just let me wake up in the morning the smell of new mown hay To laugh and cry, to live and In the brightness of my day
I want to hear the pealing bells Of distant churches But most of all please free me From this aching metal ring And open out this cage towards the sun
