lyrics

sparrow brown and grey lands on the ledge dropping her tears of joy and I bought some new clothes, black wing tip shoes, hat with the wide silk band and you are my girl and every night is prom, homecoming queen for ever and I take your hand right where the sparrow lands this night is Dutch black licorice

chorus

surely goodness and mercy are running down your street to catch a hold of you and kiss you on the cheek

You're trapped up in a tower of all you can not see. The dancing girls have come to carry your long train and the curse over you is now broken in to a faithful beast of burden and as soon as you arrive the stones all cry out your splendor and glory

chorus

Sparrow brown and grey has carried you away into a gilded dome of heaven and I'm left alone in my new clothes just clicking my heals together and I dug these small holes in the dark earth to burry every seed of my sorrow

Surely goodness and mercy are running down my street to catch ahold of me and kiss me, surely goodness and mercy are running down my street to catch ahold of me and kiss me on the cheek
