Maybe Sparrow - Neko Case

Maybe sparrow, you should wait

The hawks alight till morning

You’ll never pass beyond the gate

If you don’t hear my warning

Notes are hung so effortless

With the rise and fall of a sparrow’s breast

It’s a drowning dive and back to the chorus

La de da de da de da

Oh, my sparrow, it’s too late

Your body, limp, beneath my feet

Your dusty eyes cold as clay

You didn’t hear my warning

Maybe sparrow, it’s too late

The moonlight glanced off metal wings

In a thunderstorm above the clouds

The engine hums a sparrow’s phrase

For those who cannot hear the words

For those who cannot hear the words

For those who will not hear the words

La de da de da de da

Maybe sparrow
