[00:13.000]turn me loose from your hands
[00:20.000]let me fly to distant lands
[00:27.000]over green fields, trees and mountains
[00:34.000]flowers and forest fountains
[00:40.000]home along the lanes of the skyway
[00:46.000]for this dark and lonely room
[00:53.000]projects a shadow cast in gloom
[00:58.000]and my eyes are mirrors
[01:02.000]of the world outside
[01:06.000]thinking of the way that the wind can turn the tide
[01:12.000]and these shadows turn from purple into grey
[01:19.000]for just a skyline pigeon
[01:21.000]dreaming of the open waiting for the day
[01:25.000]he can spread his wings
[01:28.000]fly away again
[01:32.000]fly away, skyline pigeon fly
[01:38.000]towards the dreams you've left so very far behind
[01:45.000]fly away, skyline pigeon fly
[01:51.000]towards the dreams you've left so very far behind
[01:58.000]just let me wake up in the morning
[02:02.000]to the smell of new mown hay
[02:06.000]to laugh and cry, to live and die
[02:09.000]in the brightness of my day
[02:12.000]I want to hear the pealing bells of distant churches sing
[02:18.000]but most of all please free me
[02:21.000]from this aching metal ring
[02:25.000]and open out this cage towards the sun
[02:31.000]for just the skyline pigeon
[02:34.000]dreaming of the open waiting for the day
[02:39.000]he can spread his wings
[02:41.000]and fly away again
[02:45.000]fly away, skyline pigeon fly
[02:51.000]towards the things you've left so very far behind
[02:58.000]fly away, skyline pigeon fly
[03:05.000]towards the things you've left so very
[03:09.000]so very far behind
