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 ways
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
So very 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 hear the pealing bells
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage
Towards 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 so
Very far behind
Fly away
Skyline pigeon fly
Towards the dreams you've left so very
So very far
Behind
