ELTON JOHN - Empty Sky lyrics

rate me

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album empty sky<br><br>I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room<br>Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon<br>Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love<br>Make me wish that I had wings take me high above<br><br>And I looked high and saw the empty sky<br>If I could only, I could only fly<br>I'd drift with them in endless space<br>But no man flies from this place<br><br>At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars<br>The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far<br>If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above<br>I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love<br><br>Hey the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck<br>Some luck I ever got with you and I wouldn't like to bet<br>That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land<br>By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man<br><br>Just send up my love ain't seen nothing but tears<br>Now I've got myself in this room for years<br>I don't see no one, I never see anyone
