Lyrics
Is there any long
Long-lost story?
The scene the hero's done
When his whole life was long, the sparrow's song
Is heard among the high and hurry
The changing guard who know the way
By lung and heart
By eye of mine
By skin of teeth in humankind
We long to hear a song and see a sign
A wail so strange
Tale of mercy
A twist of idle time
That sent the hero's mind to sparrow's song
And heard among the low and labored
The changing guard who know the way
By lung and heart
By eye of mine
By skin of teeth in humankind
We long to hear a song and see a sign
We long to hear a song and see a sign
Still in a dream
To wit be tethered
By grace be pulled along
Good fortune, hear the sparrow's song
And not alone
And none the wiser
Than love nor hate, who know the way
By lung and heart
By eye of mine
By skin of teeth and humankind
We long to hear a song and see a sign
We long to hear a song and see a sign
We long to hear a song and see a sign
