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
  Thinkin of the ways that the wind can turn the tide
  And these shadows turn from purple into grey
  For just a Skyline Pigeon
  Dreamin of the open
  Waiting for the day
  But 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 a Skyline Pigeon
  Dreamin of the open
  Waiting for the day
  But 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
