Sparrow in my Hand ©2001 Robert George/? BMI

Like a blade of grass, like fine crystal glass
Hearts are fragile things
Perched on loneliness, heart held to your breast
Like a broken wing

It was wet outside, you came here to hide
Through my cabin window
The way clouds still cling, to your healing wing
Someone must’ve hurt you so

You’re the sparrow in my hand
Looking to my hollow eyes
I’m weary of this woeful land
You’re weary of the skies


Winds south…feathers soft, should lift you aloft
And spirit you away
But you say you’ve been, too long on the wind
With me you’d like to stay

You’re the sparrow in my hand
Looking to my haunted eyes
I’m weary of this woeful land
You’re weary of the skies


Though my window’s wide, you remain inside
Contented and calm
Some need open doors, some windows before
They’ll sleep in lovers’ palms

Babe, you’re the sparrow in my hand
Looking up hungry at me
I’m starving, too, and understand
Tasting life is feeling free
Tasting life is feeling free…
