         D#               A# 
Turn me loose from your hands
       G#  A#     A#7  D#
Let me fly to distant lands
             F                G#
Over green fields, trees and mountains
 D#     A#   A#7    D#
Flowers and forest fountains
G#            D#     A#7      D#
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

Chorus:
               G#
For just this Skyline Pigeon
 D#             A#7
Dreaming of the open
D#
Waiting for the day
         G#
He can spread his wings
   D#    A#7  D#   G7 
And fly away again
      Cm  D7             Gm
Fly away Skyline pigeon fly
              G#               D#   A#7    D#
Towards the dreams you left so very far behind
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 wanna 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

Chorus:
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 things you've left so very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the things you've left so very, so very far behind
