Below, you will find the lyrics for Sparrow by Tom Odell.
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 1
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
Please, won't you try?
Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life
Chorus 2
And you're up on that tree, and you look in my eyes
And i wonder what goes on in your mind
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
Please don't you go
I love the way your feathers move as the wind it blows
Chorus 3
But you're up on that tree, when you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
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
