Lyrics

SPARROW © Jenelle Aubade 2016 "a mist is a net used to capture wild birds"

so what if it falls
like a deck of cards
I wasn't playing anyway

so what if it falls
like a deck of cards
I wasn't playing after all

there are so many scenic routes to take
in the time it takes me to open my mouth to say
write it all down up in the clouds
do what you want have your way

oh how I missed the sparrows in the mist the sparrows in the mist oh
oh how I missed the arrow in the mist the arrow in the mist oh

so what if it falls
like a deck of cards
I wasn't playing the game
you wanted me to play

you're ten feet tall and the sky bows down
the traffic it stops and the crowd gathers round
oh I just wanna be there to see
I mention this Earth this turn around
she's sleeping it's our turn in town

and the ground in the spaces between the heart and the crown
we're thinking of standing and walking around

so what if it falls
like a deck of cards
we were building with
out playing at all

oh how I missed the sparrow in the mist the sparrow in the mist oh
oh how I missed the arrow in the mist the arrow in the mist oh

so what if I fall
like a house of cards
I wasn't standing for it all
after all
