Sparrow and the Wolf

Sparrow and the Wolf - James Vincent McMorrow

Sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass

Like worn leather boots of color and size that would last

Caught them a lark in a trap and each held a wing

Then they tore it apart before that small bird could sing

Confused by the wind bruised by the size of the rain

She turned back to him begged for love to remain

But plans have been made all of your furniture sold

So just store up your hate use for warmth when you're cold

For I have seen no joy only danger

I seen no joy only strangers

I seen no joy seen no joy in this world

Should you choose to go

Please be careful of lonesome roads

Men who travel them will not know

Will not know of your ways oh oh oh oh

Still I have seen no joy only dangers

I seen no joy only strangers

I seen no joy seen no joy in this world

Should you choose to go

Please be faithful of what you learn

From the little bird always dear

Always dear to my heart oh oh oh oh
