lyrics

Sparrow, Sparrow
Oh, where have you gone?
Were you caught, snared away at dusk till dawn?
Did you wake to find the thistle strand lost
To hide away in moonlight, in unfamiliar song?

Did you try to follow up the cold muddy river?
Were you thrown by the flood, a wake unforgiving?
Knowing you didn’t have to stray so far
Searching for the life you knew well before dark?

Did you do your best to tend to your nest
Only to meet the claw, the north winds relent?
If only I could shield you as I wish
As the branches, the twigs, that held you in their grip

Did you see me floating along below
From Lansing to the Lake, between unknowns?
The depths and the heavens, wherever I end
Where I roam, alone, to compose a letter sent

If only I could have borrowed your wings
For a day, for a night, to see another spring
I know you can’t rest, you must push on
That Tired Old River will drown me before long

Maybe you heard of a finer place
One without the worry to shed the winter’s weight
I can’t say I blame you
But I’ll stay just the same
To wait on your return when Summer comes again

Sparrow, Sparrow
Oh, where have you gone?
Your reflection, your feather, your song, your letter
Your light kept on
Will never be lost
