In your hands I learned to drink water
_____
I was a sparrow that stayed trapped in your cage
_____
And the birdseed that you gave me
_____
Was so little and yet I loved you
_____
My song for you was always complete
_____
Without you I couldn't fly in another sky
_____
And another hand offered me the longed-for fruit
What one day was won't be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
I got tired of your birdseed
_____
Go fly in another sky
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink
_____
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
_____
If this had been yesterday, I'd take it
The first time that you offer
_____
But without loving you, what would I gain
_____
What one day was won't be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
_____
I got tired of your birdseed
_____
Go fly in another sky
_____
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink
