Sparrow - Tom Odell

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

And you sit on that tree, you look in my eyes

And 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

And you’re up on that tree, and you look in my eyes

And I wonder what goes on in your mind

(Louder and louder and louder and louder)

Stay, sparrow, stay

Won’t you stay in my window?

I’d 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, when you look in my eyes

I wonder what goes on in your mind

(Louder and louder and louder and louder)

(Louder and louder and louder and louder)

Sing, sparrow, sing

Sing away our pain

When you get the bones of it, we are just the same

I said, sing, sparrow, sing

Sing away our pain

I’ll never hear a melody as sweet as today

Because you’re up on that tree, and you look in my eyes

And I wonder how, but you’re saying goodbye
