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

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
