Sparrow for a Heart

When I was young, I had a sparrow for a heart
And a redwing’s eyes
And I left my home, made of sticks and stones
From the falling skies
Run, run all the colours of the rainbow
Spun out, red, green and blue
Be still, my heart, don’t start
Don’t start bleeding too
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
When I am old, would you carry my bones
To the blood red sea?
Don’t let the earthworms and carrion crows
Get the best of me
Green, green, and red and blue
Were the colours no more
Only beating wings, a sparrow sings
And it makes my heart soar, soar
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
