[Labi Siffre - Sparrow In The Storm 2006 Remastered Version lyrics]
In the beginning lives the end Can the foe
Become your friend? Easy answers
There are none
Though frightened grown ups search for one
In these broken bloody times We need
More than TV smiles Behind
The eyes the door is tight
Shut Behind the makeup, just more makeup
When the pain is such
Feelings turn to dust Are there tears
Enough to wash all of us?
I’m a sparrow in the storm Without your
Love to keep me warm Seasons come
And seasons go That you love me is
All I need to know I’m
A sparrow in the storm Without your love
To keep me warm Hold my hand
And time will show That you love me
Is all I need to know
The message written on our walls
For the strong to climb:
The weak must fall this is heresy I guess
But could the strong perhaps learn
To live with less when the pain is such
Feelings turn to dust Are there tears
Enough to wash all of us?
When I need a friend
Here you are again You let me
Comfort you like only lovers do
As the birthdays come and go
The more I understand
The less I know As the birthdays come
And go Only one thing I know
Become your friend? Easy answers
There are none
Though frightened grown ups search for one
In these broken bloody times We need
More than TV smiles Behind
The eyes the door is tight
Shut Behind the makeup, just more makeup
When the pain is such
Feelings turn to dust Are there tears
Enough to wash all of us?
I’m a sparrow in the storm Without your
Love to keep me warm Seasons come
And seasons go That you love me is
All I need to know I’m
A sparrow in the storm Without your love
To keep me warm Hold my hand
And time will show That you love me
Is all I need to know
The message written on our walls
For the strong to climb:
The weak must fall this is heresy I guess
But could the strong perhaps learn
To live with less when the pain is such
Feelings turn to dust Are there tears
Enough to wash all of us?
When I need a friend
Here you are again You let me
Comfort you like only lovers do
As the birthdays come and go
The more I understand
The less I know As the birthdays come
And go Only one thing I know
