Sparrow Lyrics

When the evening like a sparrow
Folds down it's small wings
All the light bones and the feathers of the day
It is then in that moment

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e43274-carrie_newcomer~sparrow_lyrics.html ]
Stop the rushing and just hold me
Lay your hands where it hurts
And we'll leave it that way
I have often dreamt of angels
But I very rarely see them

But I know that they've been here
Because something smells like sky
In the rustle of their presence
It sounds a lot like your breathing
Sounds a lot like a promise
But I can't say why

Bridge: I have searched all the wise and the unwise places
I have known the price of passion
And what solitude can buy

But it was you I was looking for in all those faces
Always you I was hoping for
When I closed my eyes

I will gather all the feathers
That collect up in the corners
All the rising and the fallings
In the quiet of the day

When you speak there's a flutter
Of some winged thing stirring
Lay your head on my heart
And we'll leave it that way
