Tom Odell - Sparrow lyrics

Why, sparrow, why?
Won't you tell me why I'm sad?
Sing us both a melody, the best that you can
Fly, sparrow, fly won't you sit on my hand?
Sing it in that language
We both can understand

And you sit on that tree, you look in my eyes
And I wonder what goes on in your mind

Speak, sparrow, speak please, won't you try?
Tell me why you'd walk if you
Knew that you could fly
Speak, sparrow, speak
Oh, please, won't you try?
Tell me all the answers
To this meaningless life

And you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
And I wonder what goes on in your mind
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)

Stay, sparrow, stay
Won't you stay in my window?
I'd never been so close
To anything so beautiful wait, sparrow, wait
Oh, please don't you go
I love the way your feathers move
As the wind it blows

But you're up on that tree
When you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)

Sing, sparrow, sing sing away our pain
When you get the bones of it
We are just the same
I said, sing, sparrow, sing
Sing away our pain
I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today

Because you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye
