Sparrows Lyrics
Weigh me down my weary bones, lay me out to dry
I won’t forget the way you looked last time we said goodbye
Now nothing else makes any sense or ever has since then
If I could I’d do it all over again
Instead I’m stumbling down this backstreet gutter of a town
And upset every sorrow I have yet to drown
Now everywhere I turn expecting slander and scorn
For the life of me I beg to be reborn
Chorus
I’ve got to find somewhere to get out of the rain
This coat don’t keep the cold out anymore
And my heart don’t beat the same
As it did before
I had another one of those nervous episodes last night
I dreamt about an unmarked headstone on the high hillside
My backbone had been bent and broken by some ruthless clime
My mind had been caught on a wrought design
So, I’ll turn my back and walk away and not return again
I hear the distant drums beating on the wind
The branch will always break the banks of the river dammed
And I’ve about had all that I can stand
Repeat Chorus
I won’t forget the way you looked last time we said goodbye
Now nothing else makes any sense or ever has since then
If I could I’d do it all over again
And upset every sorrow I have yet to drown
Now everywhere I turn expecting slander and scorn
For the life of me I beg to be reborn
I’ve got to find somewhere to get out of the rain
This coat don’t keep the cold out anymore
And my heart don’t beat the same
As it did before
I dreamt about an unmarked headstone on the high hillside
My backbone had been bent and broken by some ruthless clime
My mind had been caught on a wrought design
I hear the distant drums beating on the wind
The branch will always break the banks of the river dammed
And I’ve about had all that I can stand
