Brother Sparrow

Woke up this morning to another day alone

To another day of getting by without her

Sat down at the piano, cup of coffee and a smoke

What's that sound?

Stood up from the piano, grabbed myself a broom

That's when I came and found you

So what you doin' here?

You know this ain't your home

Go back home!

Come on, Brother Sparrow, fly through the window

You're clinging to the curtains, but you belong with the wind

And if the words that a man said made sense to a bird's head

You'd see the only way you're getting out is the way that you came in

Swing high, hit the ceiling, swoop low, hit the floor

And I feel just how you're feeling, sometimes I can't find the door

If you keep me in your memory, I'll put you in my song

But a song don't last forever, and this house ain't your home

So come on, Brother Sparrow, fly through the window

You're clinging to the curtains, but you belong with the wind

And if the words that a man said made sense to a bird's head

You'd see the only way we're getting out is the way that we came in

Come on, Brother Sparrow, fly through the window

And if you see my baby, say hello from a friend

'Cause now that you stayed so long

I hear the words in your bird-song

Singing, "The only way we're getting out

The only way we're getting out

Oh, the only way we're getting out is the way that we came in"
