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
Just 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
