Sparrow

Lyrics

Why, sparrow, why won't you tell me why I'm sad?
 Sing us both a melody the best that you can
 Fly, sparrow, fly, won't you sit on my hand?
 Sing it in that language we both can understand
 And you sit on that tree and look in my eyes
 And I wonder what goes on in your mind
 Oh, ooh
 Oh, ah-ah, ah
 Speak, sparrow, speak, please, won't you try?
 Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly
 Speak, sparrow, speak, oh, please, won't you try?
 Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life
 But you're up on that tree, and you look in my eyes
 And I wonder what goes on in your mind
 Oh, ooh, yeah
 Oh (louder and louder and louder and louder)
 Mm, mm
 Oh, oh, oh
 Stay, sparrow, stay, won't you stay in my window?
 I've never been so close to anything so beautiful
 Wait, sparrow, wait, oh, please don't you go
 I love the way your feathers move as the wind it blows
 But you're up on that tree, when you look in my eyes
 I wonder what goes on in your mind
 Oh
 Oh (louder and louder and louder and louder)
 Oh
 Oh (louder and louder and louder and louder)
 Sing, sparrow, sing, sing away our pain
 When you get the bones of it, know we are just the same
 I said, sing, sparrow, sing, sing away our pain
 I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today
 Because you're up on that tree, and you look in my eyes
 And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye
