Sparrow Song

What did we find there the day the walls went pale

All ears and eyes asking, but I was still looking

All clear lines went, but I was still going back again

Close enough to knowing

And to see

That they fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue

Fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue

What did we find there the day the floor turned grey

Turned up faces and memory traces like all the rest

Cutting through, the night sparrows arrive

Silent and bright

And they fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue

Fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue

Close to all and the fall of time

There is the shore and the boundless sky

It's so quiet now, my love, my love

What we didn't know we may never know

And they fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue

Fly when the sky is red

And the heavens are blue
