about

I wrote this about a specific friendship in my life. One that I know will never go away, despite distance and time.

lyrics

SPARROW’S CRY

The trees are blooming crazy in this town
The light has changed, and sun is sticking ‘round
The chill is through, the chill is through
Sometimes I need the comfort of your voice
And I know the consequences of my choice
But I think of you, I think of you

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as winter’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start

The fireflies will soon be on their way
And I finally had some time I could escape
The Texas sun, the Texas sun
And even just a couple days with you
You clear away the haze that makes me blue
In California sun, California Sun

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Spring is here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start

And summer flies by and days you can’t recount
And the birds are back again
And I’m fine for the most part, but I could always use a friend

Of all the years that we have been apart
It’s funny how I never feel that far
Away from you, away from you
oooohhhh

Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Autumn’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start
Ooooohh I hear a lonely sparrow cry
And as fast as Winter’s here it says goodbye
Oh but time with you can always heal my heart
As it’s done from the very start As it’s done from the very start
