[Intro]
Good evening, your Royal Highness
Ladies and gentlemen
Uh well, what the plan is tonight is we
We thought we'd do an evening of sort of nostalgia
Or semi-nostalgia and go back through
Some of our earlier albums
Starting with the first one which was Empty Sky
I'm just gon' take me ring off
And this one is a song which was the first song
That Bernie and I ever really
Felt excited about that we ever wrote
And it's called Skyline Pigeon
[Verse 1]
Turn me loose from your hands
Let me fly to distant lands
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains
Home along the lanes of the skyway
For this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom
And my eyes are mirrors of the world outside
Thinkin' of the way
That the wind can turn the tide
And these shadows turn from purple into grey
