Why, sparrow, why? Won't you tell me why I'm sad?
Sing us both a melody, the best that you can
Fly, sparrow, fly. Won't you sit on my hand?
Sing it in that language we both can understand
When you sit on that tree
Look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
Speak, sparrow, speak. Please, won't you try?
Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly
Speak, sparrow, speak. Oh, please, won't you try?
Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life
But you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
Stay, sparrow, stay. Won't you stay in my window?
I've never been so close to anything so beautiful
Wait, sparrow, wait. Oh, please don't you go
I love the way I felt as vast the wind it blows
But you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind
Sing, sparrow, sing. Sing away the pain
When you get to the bones of it, we are just the same
I said: sing, sparrow, sing. Sing away our pain
I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today
Cause you're up in that tree
And you look in my eyes
And I wonder how but you're saying goodbye
