SONGS IN POETRY
Many writers have come into our lives through various channels. The works they have produced more often than not served to connect with us many of the feelings we want to express.
This week we feature one of the more prolific song writers of the last four decades. Bernie Taupin has written and performed many great songs. More often than not when you hear a song by Elton John the writer is Bernie Taupin. We wish to share with you one of Bernie's great composition. This tune was released in the UK in 1969 and the US in 1975.
SKYLINE PIGEON.
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 the aching metal ring
And open out htis cage towards the sun.
End.
