Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love
Make me wish that I had wings, take me high above
[Chorus]
And I looked high and saw that 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And I looked high and saw that 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
[Chorus]
And I looked high and saw that 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
[Bridge]
Hey, the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck
Some luck I ever got with you, and 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
[Chorus]
And I looked high and saw that 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
[Bridge]
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
I don't see no one, I never see anyone
[Bridge]
I never see anyone, I never see anyone
Just send up my love, just send up my love
Just send up my love, ain't seen nothing but tears
Now I've got myself in this room for years
[Outro]
Nothing but tears
Ain't seen nothing but tears
Written by: Bernie Taupin, Elton John
