Sing a song to the sparrow That flies high above Dark towers In the city of love Time to climb on top The impossible dream To shut your eyes As I follow you You had your reasons Our bed was unmade Couldn't be any dimmer Just a crack in the shades The red sea would part Whenever you came Seeking pleasure Or distraction Gone like the whisper of Sun in the winter The black clouds are leaking and I need your shelter The wolves are out lurking the eagle's not landing And I'm waiting outside the gate Of the biltmore estate Faint songs on the radio Keeping the time The doorman is waiting It's colder inside I could bathe in your sunlight Where shadows are caste The sparrow takes flight For the summer has passed You had your convictions The ashtray was full Mascara was running Through holes in the wool The towers would fall Whenever you'd call Seeking pleasure Or distraction Gone like the whisper of Sun in the winter The black clouds are leaking and I need your shelter The wolves are out lurking the eagle's not landing And I'm waiting outside the gate Of the Biltmore estate Cold wind is blowing It's Christmas at last The vultures are crowing Sparrow's last gasp
