For Joe

lyrics

Sparrow (words & music ©1996 by Dean Bonzani)

Sparrow, sparrow— I took your tiny life
Picked from the roof tiles
Light fading from your eyes

You were just a substitute
I put my question to your throat
Mute, you couldn't answer
But now, I hear you singing

What was I thinking
Drinking down my birthright like I did?
The son unblinking
Old man in the body of a kid

You were just a target to me
I couldn't see for my blind rage
Cold and true and steady
I flicked your little flame away

Sparrow, sparrow— I took your tiny life
Picked from the roof tiles
Light fading from your eyes

You were just a substitute
I put my question to your throat
Mute, you couldn't answer
But now, I hear you singing
