The Falling Sparrow Lyrics - Singles - Merry Ellen Kirk

Time, like an arrow 

Floats in our minds 

Down, the falling sparrow 

Do you see how he flies? 

So do I 

Time, like a river 

Flows from your veins 

And life, like an iceberg 

Still remains the same 

There was a time when life was young 

Since then we've fought a thousand wars 

The happy daggers sing their song 

And they complain that life is short 

Gone, like the marrow 

That seeps from your bones 

Down, the falling sparrow 

Weeps and he groans 

There was a time when life was young 

Since then we've fought a thousand wars 

The fallen martyrs sing their song 

They cry in vain that life is short 

Time, like an arrow 

Floats in our minds 

Down, the falling sparrow 

Do you see how he flies? 

So do I
