Lyrics

I'm not a rat to be spat on Locked up in this room Those bars that look up 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 one flies from this place At night I lay upon my bench and stare up towards the stars The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far If I could only swing upon those twinkling dots above I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love And I looked high, that's right, baby, and saw the empty sky If I could only, I could only fly I'd drift with them in endless space But no one flies from this place 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 one flies from this place, fly on I've been sending up my love, getting back nothing but tears Now I got myself locked up in the joint for years Mama, you know that ain't right Checking out the skies every night Nothing but an empty sky
