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 When you sit on that tree Look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind Speak, sparrow, speak. Please, won't you try? Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly Speak, sparrow, speak. Oh, please, won't you try? Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life But you're up on that tree And you look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind Stay, sparrow, stay. Won't you stay in my window? I've never been so close to anything so beautiful Wait, sparrow, wait. Oh, please don't you go I love the way I felt as vast the wind it blows But you're up on that tree And you look in my eyes I wonder what goes on in your mind Sing, sparrow, sing. Sing away the pain When you get to 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 Cause you're up in that tree And you look in my eyes And I wonder how but you're saying goodbye
