Sparrow Songtext

But I very rarely see them
But I know that they've been here
Cause something smells like sky
In the rustle of their presence
It's a lot like your breathing
Sounds a lot like a promise
But I can't say why

And I have searched all the wise and the unwise places
I have known the price of passion
What solitude buys

It was you I was looking for in all those faces
Always you I was hoping for
When I closed my eyes

So while we'll gather all the feathers
That collect up in the corners
All the risings and the fallings
In the quiet of the day
When you speak there's a flutter
Of some winged thing stirring
Lay your head on my heart
And we'll leave it that way
