If I Was a Sparrow

If I was a sparrow I’d fly back from where I came

If I was a sparrow I’d fly back from where I came

I wouldn’t care if it’s on a soft breeze

Or the northbound side of a hurricane

Once I knew a woman she loved me like the summer loves the sun

Once I knew a woman she loved me like the summer loves the sun

She promised she would be there

As long as the stars still shine and the rivers run

And if I was a sailor I’d search the seven seas

If I was a sailor I guess I’d search the seven seas

Hoping maybe someday

I’d find her sailing back to me

Sometimes when the storm is coming I hear her name on the wind

Sometimes when the storm is coming I hear her name on the wind

I wish I could say different

But I have to say I’d do it all again

A wise man once told me you won’t forget that woman’s touch

A wise old man once told me you won’t forget that woman’s touch

You can always tell a young man

But I guess it’s true you just can’t tell him much

And if I was a sparrow I’d fly back from where I came

If I was a sparrow I’d fly back from where I came

I wouldn’t care if it’s on a soft breeze

Or the northbound side of a hurricane
