lyrics

LITTLE GREY SPARROW

Little grey Sparrow hanging ‘round the garden shed
Shake off the cobwebs from your sleepy wings
For winter’s heading out.
Pack up the nest, leave the rest
We’re gonna be alright, I’ll be
Chasing the summer, I’m a boxcar runner
Gonna be alright, I’ll be
Home.

Wherever you roam no matter how far
Wherever you go remember that’s where you are

True as an arrow sticking to the apple tree
They said she was a tiger, she never quit fighting
With the circus clowns
In love with the freedom, each town an Eden
Gonna be alright, I’ll be
Up on the wire, I’m a big top flyer
Gonna be alright, I’ll be
Home.

Wherever you roam, no matter how wide
Wherever you go remember you’ll be fine
So fly… little sparrow
Fly… little teacup
Fly… little arrow
Heart’s an archer, she points you to the marrow.

Do-doo-do-doo

In love with the freedom, each town an Eden
Gonna be alright, I’ll be
Chasing the wire, I’m a big top flyer
Gonna be alright, I’ll be
Home.

Little grey Sparrow
Little grey Sparrow
Little grey Sparrow
