Empty Sky Lyrics - Empty Sky - Elton John

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 and saw the empty sky 

If I could only, 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 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 

And I looked high and saw the empty sky 

If I could only, could only fly 

I'd drift with them in endless space 

But no man ever flies from this place, yeah 

Hey! The lucky locket hangs around your precious neck 

Some luck I ever got with you and I, 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
