Brother Sparrow Lyrics by Ric Robertson

Choices and Chains

2024

Woke up this morning to another day alone, to another day of getting by without her
Sat down at the piano, cup of coffee and a smoke — what’s that sound?
Stood up from the piano, grabbed myself a broom, that’s when I came and found you
So what you doin’ here, you know this ain’t your home - go back home!
Come on Brother Sparrow, fly through the window. You’re clinging to the curtains, but you belong with the wind
And if the words that a man said made sense to a bird’s head, you’d see the only way you’re getting out is the way that you came in
Swing high, hit the ceiling, swoop low, hit the floor; I feel just how you’re feeling, sometimes I can’t find the door
If you keep me in your memory, I’ll put you in my song — ‘cause songs don’t last forever, and this house ain’t your home
Come on Brother Sparrow, fly through the window. You’re clinging to the curtains, but you belong with the wind
And if the words that a man said made sense to a bird’s head, you’d see the only way you’re getting out is the way that you came in
Come on Brother Sparrow, fly through the window, and if you see my baby, say hello from a friend
‘Cause now that you stayed so long, I hear the words in your bird-song, sayin’ the only way we’re getting out -
The only way we’re getting out -
Only way we’re getting out is the way that we came in
