Sparrow Lyrics

I took a lover in the summer, in the summer
Ooh, sweet sparrow-song
Come winter, come winter, I lost my lover
Just like the birds, she'd up and gone
But when she left, she left with a promise
Ooh, she would not be long
And I'd know she was comin', I'd only to listen
Ooh, for sparrow-song

They say that what goes up
Usually comes back down
Sometimes the silence just rings out, rings out, rings out
Rings out

Elsewhere in the county, a council was votin'
Ooh, sweet sparrow-song
The trees had an illness, they wanted a quick fix
A chemical treatment to right their wrongs
Well, it sure killed the virus, but nobody noticed
Ooh, 'til the spring had sprung
That the birds were all dyin', the earth had been poisoned
And I was still listenin' for sparrow-song

They say that what goes up
Usually comes back down
Sometimes the silence just rings out, rings out, rings out
Rings out, rings out

Rings out
Rings out
Rings out
Rings out
Rings out
Rings out
