Little Sparrow

Little sparrow softly sings when daylight first draws near

She curls up tightly, safe beside me, sleeping without fear

Then she wakes, smiles & laughs, whispers in my ear

Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Singing softly to meLittle Sparrow brings me gifts, sealed tight and fine

And wraps them in the finest cloth and motions they are mine

Jewels of glass, pennies and brass, aged and rusted by time

Come bringing gifts to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come bringing gifts to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come bringing gifts to meCome flying back to me when sunlight fades and days grow old

And I'll wrap you in silk and scarfs and keep you from the cold

This blessed treasure without measure, in my arms I'll hold

Come flying back to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come flying back to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come flying back to meSinging bird, my precious bird, child of star and moon

Fold your wings around me and heal me of my wounds

Release us from our sorrow, rejoice and come home soon

Come safely home to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come safely home to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow

Come safely home to me
