Turn me loose from your hands Let me fly to distant lands Over green trees and mountains Flowers and forest fountains Home along lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room Projects a cast in gloom And my eyes are mirrors Of the world outside Thinking of way That the wind can turn the tide And these shadows turn From purple into grey
For just a Skyline Dreaming of the open Waiting for the 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 me wake up in the morning To the smell of new mown hay To laugh and cry, to and die 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 ring And open out this cage towards the sun
