The Falling Sparrow

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
