Empty Sky
I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this roomThose bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moonEveryday the swallows play in the clouds of loveMake me wish that I had wings take me high above
And I looked high and saw the empty skyIf I could only, I could only flyI'd drift with them in endless spaceBut no man flies from this place
At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the starsThe cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so farIf only I could swing upon those twinkling dots aboveI'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love
Hey the lucky locket hangs around your precious neckSome luck I ever got with you and I wouldn't like to betThat sooner or later you'll own just one half of this landBy shining your eyes on the wealth of every man
Just send up my love ain't seen nothing but tearsNow I've got myself in this room for yearsI don't see no one, I never see anyone
