Sparrow Song Lyrics by Shelley Doty

Opportunity

0

[Intro]
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
It's only the sun no need to run
It's only the dawn don't let it get you down
It's only the sun no need to run
It's only the dawn don't let it get you down
[Verse 1]
There's something here worth listening to
But there's not that much to do
And you can flatter the cat with the pretty green eyes
But she still won't come to you
[Chorus]
Celebrate the sparrow song
Those mocking birds that cruise along
Grounded while they fly right by
Yeah, the cats can wonder but they can't ask why
[Verse 2]
And give me some space to rest my head
Well there's not much room at the foot of your bed
So easy to forget what's not in sight
So you never remember that I'm there all night
[Chorus]
Celebrate the sparrow song
Those mocking birds that cruise along
Grounded while they fly right by
Yeah, the cats can wonder but they can't ask why
[Verse 3]
You see I remember waking
With imagination badly shaken
Slowing down to string along
Conscious of you all night long
[Bridge]
Stay a little while
Stay a little while
It's only the sun no need to run
It's only the dawn don't let it get you down
It's only the sun no need to run
It's only the dawn don't let it get you down
[Verse 4]
You see mornings are fine 'cause I can toe the line
And forget who and where I am
But the long afternoons weigh heavy on me
And the nights never seem to end
[Chorus]
Celebrate the sparrow song
Those mocking birds that cruise along
Grounded while they fly right by
Yeah, the cats can wonder but they can't ask why
Whoa, celebrate the sparrow song
Those mocking birds that cruise along
Grounded while they fly right by
Yeah, the cats can wonder but they can't ask why
[Outro]
Why why why
Why why why
Why why why
