The Falling Sparrow - Merry Ellen Kirk

The Falling Sparrow Lyrics

Time, like an arrow
Floats in our minds
Down, the falling sparrow
Do you see how he flies?
So do ITime, like a river
Flows from your veins
And life, like an iceberg
Still remains the sameThere 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 shortGone, like the marrow
That seeps from your bones
Down, the falling sparrow
Weeps and he groansThere 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 shortTime, like an arrow
Floats in our minds

Down, the falling sparrow
Do you see how he flies?
So do I
