Sparrows

Don’t look at me the way you do

Don’t put your arms around me and hold me close to you

Don’t tell me that you understand

You wouldn’t wanna kick a man

Who’s down and out because of you

And don’t make that pretty face of yours

It’s more than I can take, It’s all that I’ve done

But I ain’t even half the man you seem to think I am

And I’ll be telling you I love you as I’m heading for the door

And I saw those sparrows falling down again

Spiral into wildness and they fall as silently as sand

It’s son gracefully entwined, like ribbon, like rhyme

And every time I see them there, I cry

And don’t you wish, that we were sparrows?

So we could dance, across the sky

A dance that never dies

I said that we were doomed and you agreed

But it’s not a case of wanting you, is more a case of need

And I know I can’t compete with any one of them

But how can I concede defeat until you tell me it’s the end

And I saw those sparrows falling down again

Spiral into wildness and they fall as silently as sand

It’s son gracefully entwined, like ribbon, like rhyme

And every time I see them there, I cry

And don’t you wish, that we were sparrows?

So we could dance, across the sky

A dance that never dies

But everything I have ever loved, has died
