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 our feathers move as 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
Hi Albert Testaa, I feel sorry for your parents. It still must be a terrible feeling. I also feel that this song is about keep moving ahead. I do hope you can do it by time.
I'm from Finland and was in USA for the first time this summer and the last town we went to was Los Angeles and me and my sister sang this song, this song will always make me think of that trip! Bye bye Hollywood hills!
