Empty Sky

[00:51.63] I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room
[00:58.75] Those bars that look towards the sun
[01:01.69] At night look towards the moon
[01:06.05] Every day, the swallows play in the clouds of love
[01:13.24] Make me wish that I had wings, take me high above
[01:21.83] And I looked high and saw the empty sky
[01:28.79] If I could only, could only fly
[01:36.25] I'd drift with them in endless space
[01:44.06] But no man flies from this place
[01:49.81]
[01:58.67] At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars
[02:05.22] The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems, oh, so far
[02:12.52] If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above
[02:19.62] I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love
[02:29.14] And I looked high and saw the empty sky
[02:35.76] If I could only, I could only fly
[02:43.03] I'd drift with them in endless space
[02:50.82] But no man flies from this place (Fly)
[02:57.70]
[03:35.54] And I looked high and saw the empty sky
[03:42.22] If I could only, could only fly
[03:49.97] I'd drift with them in endless space
[03:56.82] But no man ever flies from this place, yeah
[04:04.06]
[04:11.54] Hey! The lucky locket hangs around your precious neck
[04:19.04] Some luck I ever got with you and I, I wouldn't like to bet
[04:25.78] That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land
[04:32.66] By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man
[04:40.59] (Yeah) And I looked high and saw the empty sky
[04:48.45] If I could only, I could only fly
[04:56.20] I'd drift with them in endless space
[05:03.18] But no man flies from this place, fly on
[05:10.19]
[05:19.29] Just send up my love, ain't seen nothing but tears
[05:25.88] Now I've got myself in this room for years
[05:32.81] I don't see no one, I never see anyone
[05:40.03] Anyone, ah, yeah
[05:42.98]
