Sing Sparrow Sing (The Ballad of Walter Kohn)

The trees are in silhouette once more
Their branches like a sable strand
Stitched up and through the sky my love
To hold it to this land

Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone

And when they find you here someday
Face-down on that floor
An ear to a ghost man's railyard weight
For that train to take one more

Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone

And if you should change your mind tonight
Turn, turn around as you please
And we'll meet again in some sweet spring
Beneath the old black trees

Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing me a pretty song
Sing, sparrow, sing
One more
Before I'm gone long gone
One more
Before I'm gone

Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
Clementine, clementine, clementine
Oh clementine
And get thee behind me, satan
