When I was young, I had a sparrow for a heart
And a redwing's eyes
And I left my home, made of sticks and stones
From the falling skies
Run, run, all the colours of the rainbow
Spun out, red green blue
Be still my heart, don't start
Don't start bleeding too
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
When I am old, would you carry my bones
To the blood-red sea?
Don't let the earthworms and carrion crows
Get the best of me
Green, green and red and blue
Were the colours no more
Only beating wings, a sparrow sings
And it makes my heart soar, soar
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
