A sparrow is a singing bird living in rural and urban areas. Their singing is considered one of the most beautiful bird songs. They are accustomed to living near humans, that’s why in the song, Tom seems to be able to be looking at the bird, asking questions, whilst it’s singing without fleeing away...
[Verse 1]
Why, sparrow, why?
Won't you tell me why I'm sad?
Sing us both a melody, the best that you can
Fly, sparrow, fly
Won't you sit on my hand?
Sing it in that language we both can understand
[Chorus]
And you sit on that tree, you look in my eyes
And I wonder what goes on in your mind
[Verse 2]
Speak, sparrow, speak
Please, won't you try?
Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly
Speak, sparrow, speak
Oh, please, won't you try?
Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life
[Chorus]
And you're up on that tree, and you look in my eyes
And I wonder what goes on in your mind
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)
[Verse 3]
Stay, sparrow, stay
Won't you stay in my window?
I'd never been so close to anything so beautiful
Wait, sparrow, wait
Oh, please don't you go
I love the way your feathers move as the wind it blows
[Chorus]
But you're up on that tree, when you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)
(Louder and louder and louder and louder)
[Bridge]
Sing, sparrow, sing
Sing away our pain
When you get the bones of it, we are just the same
I said, sing, sparrow, sing
Sing away our pain
I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today
[Outro]
Because you're up on that tree, and you look in my eyes
And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye
