Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Empty Sky
Released as a UK B-side in January, 1973
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
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 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
Elton John - Skyline Pigeon (01:53)

The flamboyant rock and roll lad from Middlesex, England was often seen on stage in awkward looking plaid suits, and unstylish thick-rimmed colored glasses. But after a four decade career that included over 50 Top 40 Hits, 7 consecutive U.S. # 1 albums, the biggest selling single of all time in "Candle In The Wind" at over 37 million units, and a record setting 26 years with at least one Top 40 Hit, Elton John has indeed proven that no rock and roll musician in history has ever "worn his shoes!"

That girl looking at Elton, disappearing, and laughing should be slapped.
