Sparrow

I’m trying to dream it up again
Put the pieces back where they should have been
I’ll put the leaves back on the trees
I’ll put the summer back in the breeze

The evening light competes
With the driving rain down on Gower Street
Our faces and our feet align
The weather is our state of mind

I’m trying to dream it up again
Get to who I was back then
I’ll put you back in the bed we share
I’ll put my hands back in your hair

The morning sun is blown away
With the hours that I let go astray
And through the walls the voices show
The tone of lives I’ll never know

I’m trying to dream it up again
The master plan from the lion’s den
The midnight girls in the darker days
Of big ideas choked in smoky haze

A million rooms I stumbled through
Til I found the one made for me and you
We kicked up the dust from off that floor
We won’t let it settle there anymore

I’m trying to dream it up again
I’ll walk the road and turn the bed
I’m a sparrow facing down the gale
A moment before the world exhales

A renegade melody
That became a part of me
I dreamed this life with a hopeful mind
I won’t let it all get left behind

So I’ll try to dream it up again
