I'm not a wretch to be spent all locked up in this room
Those bars that look toward the sun at night
Look towards the moon
Every day the swallows play and the clouds blow
Make me wish that I had wings,
take me high above
And I looked high
and saw that empty sky
If I could only,
I could only fly I'd drift with them and then the snakes
But no man flies from this place
And I lay upon my bench,
stare toward the stars The cold night air comes creeping in
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 that empty sky
If I could only,
I could only fly
I'd drift with them and then the snakes
But no man flies from this place
And I looked high
and saw that empty sky
If I could only,
I could only fly
I'd drift with them and then the
snakes But no man flies from this place
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
And I looked high and saw that empty sky
If I could only,
I could only fly
I'd drift with them and then the snakes
No man flies from this place
Just another mile, Lord
It's enough of my tears
Now I've got myself In this room for years
I don't see no one I never see anyone
Just another mile,
Lord
Just another mile,
Lord
Just another mile,
Lord It's enough of my tears
Now I've got myself In this room for years
I don't see no one I never see anyone Just another mile,
Lord
It's enough of my tears
