lyrics

I could see the sparrow flying
Down onto the forest floor
There she would sit and sing my confusion away
Open wide my fastened door
My fastened door
It has taken
Taken me down

The hours passed from days to weeks
And the aching never withdrew
The one I thought I would become was
Someone lanced through and through
Lanced through and through
For I am nothing
Nothing am I

I’d like to believe in what they call second chances
But I wouldn’t dare to give me one
I swear I’ll believe it when I start to bereave it
This holy mess I leave undone

I saw seven apples falling softly
Rest upon the sodden ground
All were rotten, browned from the inside out
Fruitless and fell without a sound
Without a sound
But I am sightless
Mine eyes are lame
And so am I

So take your chance and leave me now
Before I stumble further still
The weakness of my dirge will take you nowhere
My soul will feed until it filled
Until it’s filled
Oh Sparrow Mountain
I now run
To you

It’s these words, words, words

I’ve blown away
I can’t recall
I lose them all
These wicked words
