Sparrow

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 When you sit on that tree Look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind 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 I wonder what goes on in your mind 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 our feathers move as the wind it blows But you're up on that tree And you look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind Sing, sparrow, sing Sing away the pain When you get to the bones of it, we are just the same I said: sing, sparrow, sing Sing away our pain I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today 'Cause you're up in that tree And you look in my eyes And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye
