rate me

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album empty sky<br>Released as a uk b-side in january, 1973<br><br>Turn me loose from your hands<br>Let me fly to distant lands<br>Over green fields, trees and mountains<br>Flowers and forest fountains<br>Home along the lanes of the skyway<br><br>For this dark and lonely room<br>Projects a shadow cast in gloom<br>And my eyes are mirrors<br>Of the world outside<br>Thinking of the way<br>That the wind can turn the tide<br>And these shadows turn<br>From purple into grey<br><br>For just a skyline pigeon<br>Dreaming of the open<br>Waiting for the day<br>He can spread his wings<br>And fly away again<br>Fly away skyline pigeon fly<br>Towards the dreams<br>You've left so very far behind<br><br>Just let me wake up in the morning<br>To the smell of new mown hay<br>To laugh and cry, to live and die<br>In the brightness of my day<br><br>I want to hear the pealing bells<br>Of distant churches sing<br>But most of all please free me<br>From this aching metal ring<br>And open out this cage towards the sun
