Sparrow

I caught a little sparrow, I held her in my hand
I kept her in my pocket, she helped me understand
About the air beneath her wings, about the new love every week
I caught a sparrow in my hand

I caught a little sparrow, she crept into my world
Upon my heaving back, my own jean-wearing girl
I'm sick and tired of these whims, there ain't no cage to hold her in
One fleeting footprint in the wind (In my hand)

In my hand
In my hand
In my hand
In my hand
In my hand

I shot that little sparrow, she fell down from her tree
But when I thought I had her, she opened up those wings
Her beauty was a sight to see, but she had no room for me
I shot that sparrow, she shot me

I caught a little sparrow, I held her in my hand
I kept her in my pocket, she helped me understand
About the air beneath her wings, about the new love every week
I caught a sparrow in my hand

In my hand
In my hand (Bleeding heart, falls apart)
In my hand
In my hand
In my hand (Bleeding heart, falls apart)

I shot that little sparrow, she sat down in my mind
Just out of reach, with decisions in her eyes
I'd take one step and she'd take two, there wasn't much that I could do
That little sparrow wasn't mine

She wasn't mine
She wasn't mine (Bleeding heart, falls apart)
She wasn't mine
She wasn't mine
She wasn't mine (Bleeding heart, falls apart)

In my hand
In my hand
In my hand (Bleeding heart, falls apart)

She's a girl (She's a girl)
Loves everyone (She loves the whole world)
She's a girl (She's a girl)
Everyone loves (Everyone loves her)
Not a girl (Not a girl)
Kept in a cage (Why does she fall for me)
It's a fool, locks her away
