Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly high to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
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
Thinkin' of the ways
That the wind can turn the tide

And these shadows turn
From purple into gray
For just this skyline pigeon
Dreamin' of the open
Waiting for the day
That he can spread his wings
And fly away again

Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left
So very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left
So very far behind

Let me wake up in the mornin'
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
For just this skyline pigeon
Dreamin' of the open
Waiting for the day
That he can spread his wings
And fly away again

Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left
So very far behind
Fly away, skyline pigeon, fly
Towards the dreams you left
So very
So very far behind
