Empty Sky

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I'm not a rat to be spat uponLocked up in this roomThose bars that look towards the sunAt night look towards the moonEveryday the swallows playIn the clouds of loveMake me wish that I had wingsTake me high aboveAnd I looked highSaw the empty skyIf I could onlyCould only flyI'd drift with themIn endless spaceBut no man fliesFrom this placeAt night I lay upon my benchAnd stare towards the starsThe cold night air come creeping inAnd home seems oh so farIf I could only swingUpon those twinkling dots aboveI'd look down from the heavensUpon the ones I loveHey, the lucky locketHangs around your precious neckSome luck I ever got with youAnd I wouldn't like to betThat sooner or later you'll ownJust one half of this landBy shining your eyes on the wealthOf every manJust send up my loveAin't seen nothing but tearsNow I've got myselfIn this room for years
