Turn me loose

From your hands

Let me fly

To distant lands

Over green fields

Trees and mountains
Eb/Bb Bb7 Eb
Flowers and forest fountains
Ab Bb Eb
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark

And lonely room

Projects a shadow

Castin 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
[Pré-Refrão]

For just a skyline pigeon

He can spread his wings

And fly away again

Towards the dreams you've left so

Let me wake up in the morning

To the smell of new mown hay

To laugh and cry

To live and die
Eb
In the brightness of my day

I want to hear the peeling bells
Ab
Of distant churches sing
Eb/Bb
But most of all please free
Bb Eb
Me from this aching metal ring
Ab Bb Eb
And open out this cage towards the sun

For just a skyline pigeon

Dreaming of the open
[Próxima Parte]

Very far behind
