Lyrics
Little Sparrow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All ye maidens heed my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two
If I were a little sparrow, over these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him, look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him, on my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him, why he left me loving him
I am not a little sparrow, I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover and his evil cunning scheme
All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you, like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh my sorrow never ends
