Sparrow

On sundaymorning everyone would leave the house

Dressed for the sunday service

And through the streets I used to know

They go to meet their friends and so they take the family seat

For the praise so honestly

For getting all around him

When Elenor sings in the choir

It’s like a larking summer

The sparrow sings the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherite all the earth

The sparrow sings the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherite all the earth

A world of silence will he send upon the town

In colors of the evening

The thought has troubled me before

I know alone I need a sound to fill each moment

I had to find it out my way

They couldn’t stop me leaving

As though they knew but could not say

They let me go believing

The sparrow sings the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherite all the earth

The sparrow sings the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherite all the earth

Through the blue and hazy drift of after two

The saxophone is moaning

I rise and step into the cruel night air
