Maybe Sparrow lyrics
by Neko Case
Maybe, sparrow, you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning
Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of a sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus
La de da de da de da
La de da de da de da
Oh, my sparrow, it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes as cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning
Didn't hear my warning
Maybe, sparrow, it's too late
The moonlight glanced off metal wings
In a thunderstorm above the clouds
The engine hums a sparrow's phrase
For those who cannot hear the words
Those who cannot hear the words
Those who will not hear the words
La de da de da de da
La de da de da de da
Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow
