Little sparrow softly sings when daylight first draws near
She curls up tightly, safe beside me, sleeping without fear
Then she wakes, smiles & laughs, whispers in my ear
Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Singing softly to me
Little Sparrow brings me gifts, sealed tight and fine
And wraps them in the finest cloth and motions they are mine
Jewels of glass, pennies and brass, aged and rusted by time
Come bringing gifts to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come bringing gifts to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come bringing gifts to me
Come flying back to me when sunlight fades and days grow old
And I'll wrap you in silk and scarfs and keep you from the cold
This blessed treasure without measure, in my arms I'll hold
Come flying back to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come flying back to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come flying back to me
Singing bird, my precious bird, child of star and moon
Fold your wings around me and heal me of my wounds
Release us from our sorrow, rejoice and come home soon
Come safely home to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come safely home to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Come safely home to me
Little sparrow comes to me when daylight first draws near
She curls up tightly, safe beside me, sleeping without fear
Then she wakes, smiles & laughs, whispers in my ear
Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Singing softly to me, Little Sparrow, Little Sparrow
Singing softly to me
