Why, sparrow, why won’t you tell me why I’m sad? Sing us both a melody, the best that you can Fly, sparrow, fly. Won’t you sit on my hand? Sing it in that language we both can understand
When you sit on that tree You look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind
Speak, sparrow, speak. Please won’t you try? Tell me why you’d walk if you knew that you could fly Speak, sparrow, speak. Oh, please won’t you try? Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life
But you’re up on that tree And you look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind
Stay, sparrow, stay. Won’t you stay in my window? I’ve never been so close to anything so beautiful Wait, sparrow, wait. Oh, please don’t you go. I love the way your feathers move as the wind it blows
But you’re up on that tree And you look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind
Sing, sparrow, sing, sing away our pain When you get the bones of it. No, we are just the same I said sing, sparrow, sing, sing away our pain I’ll never hear a melody as sweet as today
‘Cause you’re up on that tree And you look in my eyes And I wonder how, but you’re saying goodbye
