Song | Sparrow |
Artist | Charlotte Church |
Album | Three |
I awake | |
Most days | |
Below a robins nest | |
With my wings | |
So cold | |
And a heart that overflows | |
To redden snow. | |
I've been an envelope, | |
Are you the sparrow? | |
With a letter-red | |
Blood-fluttered | |
In plumes | |
For the bayonet | |
Has carved away, | |
And it carves away | |
At the arrowhead | |
Lodged within my breast. | |
Sparrow, | |
We all end up | |
Buried in the snow | |
So pick leaves and cover me; | |
Pluck the arrow | |
From my breast and let me rest | |
So far below | |
The robin's nest. |
