Mary Hopkin - Sparrow lyrics
Your rating:
On sundaymorning everyone would leave the house Dressed for the sunday service And through the streets I used to know They go to meet their friends and so they take the family seat For the praise so honestly Forgetting all around him When Eleanor sings in the choir It's like a larking summer The sparrow sings the sparrow flies With mighty wings he reaches As high as any other bird He shall inherite all the earth The sparrow sings the sparrow flies With mighty wings he reaches As high as any other bird He shall inherite all the earth A wealth of silence will he send upon the town In colors of the evening The thought has troubled me before I know alone I need a sound to fill each moment I had to find it out my way They couldn't stop me leaving As though they knew but could not say They let me go believing The sparrow sings the sparrow flies With mighty wings he reaches As high as any other bird He shall inherite all the earth The sparrow sings the sparrow flies With mighty wings he reaches As high as any other bird He shall inherite all the earth Through the blue and hazy drift of after two A saxophone is moaning I rise and step into the cruel night air
