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
