Elton John - Empty Sky lyrics
[Elton John - Empty Sky lyrics]
I'm not a rat to be spat on
Locked up in this room
Those bars that look towards the sun
At night look towards the moon
Everyday the swallows play in
The clouds of love
Make me wish that I had wings
Take me high above
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
At night I lay upon my bench
And stare towards the stars
The cold night air comes creeping
In and home seems, oh, so far
If only I could swing upon
Those twinkling dots above
I'd look down from the heavens
Upon the ones I love
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place, fly!
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place, yeah
Hey, the lucky locket hangs
Around your precious neck
Some luck I ever got with you
And I wouldn't like to bet
That sooner or later you'll own just
One half of this land
By shining your eyes on the
Wealth of every man, yeah
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place fly on
Just send up my love
Ain't seen nothing but tears
Now I've got myself in this room for years
I don't see no one, I never see anyone
Anyone, ah yeah oh
Woo hoo hoo woo hoo hoo
Oh-ho-ho
Woo, yeah i said get down with it, babe
I want you to shh
Right down now, right down now ah
Oh get on now get on up now
Locked up in this room
Those bars that look towards the sun
At night look towards the moon
Everyday the swallows play in
The clouds of love
Make me wish that I had wings
Take me high above
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place
At night I lay upon my bench
And stare towards the stars
The cold night air comes creeping
In and home seems, oh, so far
If only I could swing upon
Those twinkling dots above
I'd look down from the heavens
Upon the ones I love
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place, fly!
And I looked high, saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place, yeah
Hey, the lucky locket hangs
Around your precious neck
Some luck I ever got with you
And I wouldn't like to bet
That sooner or later you'll own just
One half of this land
By shining your eyes on the
Wealth of every man, yeah
And I looked high and saw the empty sky
If I could only, I could only fly
I'd drift with them in endless space
But no man flies from this place fly on
Just send up my love
Ain't seen nothing but tears
Now I've got myself in this room for years
I don't see no one, I never see anyone
Anyone, ah yeah oh
Woo hoo hoo woo hoo hoo
Oh-ho-ho
Woo, yeah i said get down with it, babe
I want you to shh
Right down now, right down now ah
Oh get on now get on up now
