Sparrows Over Birmingham Lyrics - Singles - Josh Rouse

Fell down on both knees, you were young 

Bones still soft, legs fell numb 

Oh, how those sparrows sang for you 

So you grew up, an isolated pup 

You had some books, you had some love 

Oh, God was watching over you 

Oh, how those sparrows sang for you 

You witnessed a man a holy man 

Touched your head with his gentle hands 

Oh, God was watching over you 

Lived in a house in Birmingham 

A preacher's son, the Lord's plan 

Oh, God was watching over you 

Oh, how those sparrows sang for two 

When you arrived, he carried you there 

Near the preacher's son, your only love 

Oh, God was watching over you 

Wedding bells rang 

(Wedding bells ring) 

Church choir sang 

(Church choir sing) 

A gospel song 

(Whoa-oh oh whoa) 

A beautiful one 

(A beautiful one) 

Oh, such a melancholy tune 

(It's a sad tune mmm-mmm) 

Oh, how it reminds me of you
