Oh Sweet Sparrow

Lyrics:

Oh sweet sparrow, leaves are falling

As another day is gone.

Wind grows colder and this coat

Will not keep me warm.

Oh sweet sparrow, won’t you fly to her

And bring her home,

Tell her flowers in the garden

Wither where I stand alone.

I embrace my pillow in my dream

Mistaking it for her,

Oh sweet sparrow, when we kissed,

I’d run my fingers through her hair.

Sparrow’s sitting in his nest,

With his wife and with his babes.

Won’t be long before they fly

Chasing spring to warmer seas.

Oh sweet sparrow, I was robbed

Of my true love and children dear.

Won’t you take my love to them

And tell them that I am still here.

And I’m walking trapped in memories

Of days when we would talk,

Oh sweet sparrow, when the last leaf falls

I’ll have to die alone.

This song was written mid-February this year, recorded it in the middle of the night with an iPod Touch - hence the crappy microphone quality, careful enough not to wake up my family. This song shares its theme with "The Nightingale", the short story I posted earlier.
