Sparrow and the Wolf - James Vincent McMorrow

verse 1

sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass

like worn leather boots, of colour and size that would last

caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing

then they tore it apart, before that small bird coud sing

confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain

she turned in to him, begged for the light to remain

but plans have been made, all the furniture sold

so store up your hate, use it for warmth when you’re cold

chorus

for i have seen no joy, only danger,

I see no joy, only strangers,

I see no joy, see no joy in this world

should you, choose to go, please be careful of,

lonesome roads, men who travel them,

will not know, will not know of your ways

chorus 2

still i have, seen no joy, only dangers, I see no joy, only strangers, I see no joy, see no joy in this world,

you should choose to go, please remember what

you have learned, from the little bird,

always dear, always dear to my heart
