Turn me loose from your hands -> Set me free
Let me fly to distant lands -> Allow me to fly to far-away countries
Over green fields, trees and mountains
Flowers and forest fountains -> flowers and forest springs/rivers
Home along the lanes of the skyway -> (flying to) where I belong following the paths/courses of the skyway (not the landway or highway)

For this dark and lonely room -> because this dark and lonely room
Projects a shadow cast in gloom -> throws a shadow into the dim darkness
And my eyes are mirrors -> my eyes are like mirrors
Of the world outside -> reflecting the world outside the room
Thinking of the way -> (I am) thinking of how
That the wind can turn the tide -> the wind can change the flow of things
And these shadows turn -> the gloomy shadows here can change colour
From purple into grey -> from being purple, to being grey

For just a Skyline Pigeon -> I am/he is merely/simply a pigeon who belongs on the skyline (= far off, above the rooftops/hilltops,in silhouette,like storm petrel)
Dreaming of the open -> dreaming of the open spaces/skies
Waiting for the day -> waiting for the time
He can spread his wings -> he is able to open his wings
And fly away again -> and fly off once more
Fly away skyline pigeon fly -> (You) fly away, Skyline Pigeon, fly!
Towards the dreams -> (fly) towards the dreams
You've left so very far behind -> that you left very far behind you.

Just let me wake up in the morning -> All I want is to wake up in the morning
To the smell of new mown hay -> with the smell of freshly-cut hay (= grass for animal feed)
To laugh and cry, to live and die -> (All I want) is to laugh and cry, and to live and die
In the brightness of my day -> in the light of the type of day of my choice (not someone else's)

I want to hear the pealing bells -> I would like to hear far-off church bells sounding
Of distant churches sing
But most of all please free me -> But the thing I want most is to be free from this metal ring which hurts me (pigeon's ring on the leg -> symbol of domestication, subjection)
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun -> the cage door should open out facing the sun (to let in the light, ... and so I am free to fly out,of your hands?)

Is it a song about getting out of an oppressive domestic relationship?
