Sparrow

There's still love by the river's bend
Where all the sparrows live all alone
Pining in the pine trees for what could have been
And what has always been, on their own
There's a toll it takes as death embraces all of them

There's still fight in the bruiser's heart
As he falls apart in some hospice bed
He had built for her in '61, when their lives just begun
To unfold a feeling
You can't shake as death looks in your face once again

Fly away now
Fly away now, lady bird
Gone astray now
You've gone astray

Fly away now
Fly away now, lady bird
Gone astray now
You've gone astray
