Sparrow

I took a lover In the summer, in the summer Ooh, sweet sparrow song Come winter, come winter I lost my lover Just like the birds She'd up and gone But when she left She left with a promise Ooh, she would not be long And I'd know she was coming I'd only to listen Ooh, for sparrow song They say that what goes up Usually comes back down Sometimes the silence just rings out Rings out, rings out, rings out Elsewhere in the county A council was voting Ooh, sweet sparrow song The trees had an illness They wanted a quick fix A chemical treatment To right their wrongs Well it sure killed the virus But nobody noticed Ooh, 'til spring had sprung That the birds were all dying The earth had been poisoned And I was still listening For sparrow song They say that what goes up Usually comes back down Sometimes the silence just rings out Rings out, rings out, rings out
