Empty Sky Lyrics

by Elton JohnAlbum: Empty Sky·1969

Empty Sky Lyrics

I’m Not A Rat To Be Spat
On Locked Up In This Room
Those Bars That Look
Towards The Sun
At Night Look Towards The Moon
Every Day, The Swallows Play
In The Clouds Of Love
Make Me Wish That I Had Wings,
Take Me High Above

And I Looked High And 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 Comes Creeping
In And Home Seems, Oh, So Far
If Only I Could Swing Upon Those
Twinkling Dots Above
I’d Look Down From The Heavens
Upon The Ones I Love

And I Looked High And Saw The Empty Sky
If I Could Only, I Could Only Fly
I’d Drift With Them In Endless Space
But No Man Flies From This Place (fly)

And I Looked High And Saw The Empty Sky
If I Could Only, Could Only Fly
I’d Drift With Them In Endless Space
But No Man Ever Flies From This Place, Yeah

Hey! The Lucky Locket Hangs
Around Your Precious Neck
Some Luck I Ever Got With You
And I, 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

And I Looked High And Saw The Empty Sky
If I Could Only, I Could Only Fly
I’d Drift With Them In Endless Space
But No Man Flies From This Place, Fly On

Just Send Up My Love,
Ain’t Seen Nothing But Tears
Now I’ve Got Myself
In This Room For Years
I Don’t See No One,
I Never See Anyone
Anyone, Ah, Yeah
