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.
I don't speak the language that you speak. There're some words I know I'll never reach. But when I see you smiling back at me. . Somehow, somehow. I know exactly what you mean.
Walking on the rooftops. Talking of times. With our eyes a glowing. Like the city lights. She stands on the ledge,. She says, 'it looks so high'. . You know it's a....
Yesterday was awful, you know what I mean. Yesterday was awkward, you could probably see. I didn't mean to hold you, or gain your sympathy. That's my jea-, my jealousy.
I thought it was easy. I thought you could choose. I thought that if you tried hard, then you couldn't lose. I thought it was pleasure. I thought it was pure.
Take my mind. and take my pain. like an empty bottle takes the rain. and heal, heal, heal, heal. . And take my past. and take my sense. like an empty sail takes the wind.
Stick me up on channel two. Pourin' out my heart for you. It's a funny thing but it pays my rent. I'm just the entertainment. . Bring me in from the cold rain.
I can feel you breathing. With your hair on my skin. As we lie here within the night. . I'll pull the sheets. When it's cold on your feet. 'Cause you'll fall back to sleep every time.
Keep waking up in the freezing cold. Of your mother's tears coming through the walls. That same old feeling spinning 'round your head. Your daddy's leaving town again.
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care,. But it's so cold and I don't know where. I brought you daffodils, in a pretty string,. But they won't flower like they did last spring.
Love, I have wounds. Only you can mend. You can mend.. Oh.... I guess that's love. I can't pretend. . I can't pretend.. Oh.... Feel, my skin is rough.
