Elton John - Skyline Pigeon (Piano Version / Remastered)

[00:12.98] Turn me loose from your hands [00:20.36] Let me fly to distant lands [00:27.75] Over green fields, trees and mountains [00:35.63] Flowers and forest fountains [00:43.24] Home along the lanes of the skyway [00:49.50] For this dark and lonely room [00:55.88] Projects a shadow cast in gloom [01:02.94] And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside [01:10.79] Thinking of the ways that the wind can turn the tide [01:18.13] And these shadows turn from purple into grey [01:24.88] For just a Skyline Pigeon [01:27.61] Dreaming of the open [01:29.66] Waiting for the day [01:32.05] That he can spread his wings [01:34.96] And fly away again [01:39.42] Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly [01:46.65] Towards the dreams you left so very far behind [01:53.93] Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly [02:01.12] Towards the dreams you left so very far behind [02:08.74] Let me wake up in the morning to the smell of new mown hay [02:15.70] To laugh and cry, to live and die in the brightness of my day [02:23.10] I want to hear the pealing bells of distant churches sing [02:30.21] But most of all please free me from this aching metal ring [02:38.63] And open out this cage towards the sun [02:44.63] For just a Skyline Pigeon [02:47.69] Dreaming of the open [02:49.58] Waiting for the day [02:52.17] That he can spread his wings [02:54.75] And fly away again [02:59.00] Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly [03:06.63] Towards the dreams you left so very far behind [03:14.04] Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly [03:21.16] Towards the dreams you left so very, so very far behind [03:33.33]
