Elton John - Empty Sky lyrics

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

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 come creeping in

And home seems oh so far

If I could only swing

Upon those twinkling dots above

I'd look down from the heavens

Upon the ones I love

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

Just send up my love

Ain't seen nothing but tears

Now I've got myself

In this room for years
