Of A Sparrow

OF A SPARROW - Written by Carroll Bryant

She said she gave her love away a long, long time ago

It's riding on the wings of a sparrow 

She talks like she never met the past and her future she can't let go

It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

She spends her days walking through a field 

Hiding all of her lost memories

Chasing dead butterflies and black rainbows

Among her own company 

Another day is done

Another day is gone

It wasn't so long ago 

When her time was riding

On the wings of a sparrow

And to another lonely night 

Of lasting misery

Singing sad songs in the shadow of the dawn

Among her own company

(And losing her mind)

She said her love would never stay and that's the only thing she knows

It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

She said she gave her love away, and it's the only pain that grows

It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

"Listen to the movement of the creek. I will be the wind. Reach for me tonight my love, and I will be again. Listen to the stillness of the pale moonlight. I will be the end. Reach for me tonight my love, and I will be again." 

She said she gave her love away a long, long time ago

It's riding on the wings of a sparrow

It doesn't matter where she goes

She's riding on the wings ... of a sparrow
