Josh Rouse - Sparrows Over Birmingham lyrics

You fell down on both knees
When you were young your bones still soft
Your legs fell numb

Oh how those sparrows sang for you

And so you grew up an isolated pup
You had some books you had some love
Oh God was watching over you
Oh how those sparrows sang for you

You witnessed a man a holy man
He touched your head with his gentle hands

Oh God was watching over you

He Lived in a house in Birmingham
A preacher's son the Lord's plan

Oh God was watching over you
Oh how those sparrows sang for two

When you arrived they carried you there
Near the preacher's son your only love

Oh God was watching over you

The wedding bells rang
(The wedding bells ring) church choir sang
(Church choir sing) a gospel song
(Whoa oh oh whoa) a beautiful one
(A beautiful one)

Oh such a melancholy tune
(It's a sad tune mmm-mmm)
Oh how it reminds me of you
