Pigeon" is a hymnal song by Elton John, Released originally in 1968, Skyline
Pigeon is considered one of the first "great" songs that he and Bernie Taupin wrote, and is about a
pigeon that is flying high and free having been released from a
human hand. But is written metaphorically, in a way that can be related to almost any scenario, because of this, the actual topic of the song is mostly thought to be of
war, although, an individual/s can make almost any interpretation of the song. With no definitive answer given by the lyrics. Because of this, Skyline
