Josh Rouse - Sparrows Over Birmingham lyrics
[Josh Rouse - Sparrows Over Birmingham lyrics]
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
