Sparrow

All around us flies the snow
Winter finds us moving slow
From a dark wood comes the sound
Of a tall tree falling down

Little sparrow, did you hear?
Wings of angels draw you near
Breath of winter chills the ground
Now a tall tree's fallen down

Little sparrow, did you weep?
Did you wake from restless sleep?
Was your heart then turned around
By a tall tree falling down?

From the dark wood comes the sound
Breath of winter chills the ground
Was your heart then turned around
Sparrow?

Little sparrow, still you fly
Still you gaze into the sky
Are you longing, do you yearn
For a tall tree to return?

All around us flies the snow
Winter finds us moving slow
From a dark wood comes the sound
Of a tall tree falling down
