text: Turn me loose from your hands
  Let me fly 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
  Thinking of the way
  That the wind can turn the tide
  And these shadows turn
  From purple into grey
  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 dreams
  Youve 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 want to 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
