Why oh little sparrow don't you go
Southwards to the warmer weather when here turns cold?
I sense you think you won't make it if you sing your tune
And fly your paper rocket to the moon
I see you out of the window
The summer sun's fading again
You're staring up at the Jumbo jets and
Wondering if you can
Take a flight like the other times
And land upon your feet
But if you fall like you did before
Is someone gonna pick you up like me
Why oh little sparrow don't you go
Southwards to the warmer weather when here turns cold?
I sense you think you won't make it if you sing your tune
And fly your paper rocket to the moon
So you've lost your way again have you?
Is the old so bad you have to look for something new?
I found you out in the shelter
Broken winged, down on the floor
When you grew strong then I hoped your thanks
Would turn to something more
I swore that I'd never cage you and I
Prayed that you might stay
But though you're here in the flesh and blood
It's nothing when I know your heart's away
Why oh little sparrow don't you go
Southwards to the warmer weather when here turns cold?
I sense you think you won't make it if you sing your tune
And fly your paper rocket to the moon
Why oh little sparrow don't you go
Southwards to the warmer weather when here turns cold?
I sense you think you won't make it if you sing your tune
And fly your paper rocket to the moon
I sense you think you won't make it if you sing your tune
And fly your paper rocket to the moon
