The Sparrow Spread Her Wings

The Sparrow spread her wings 
Before the chick could blink 
The Sparrow spread her wings 

Rain pours she's on the brink    
Flying through hazy clouds 
Before the chick could blink 

She spots us on the ground
Swinging in our four arms 
Before the chick could blink 

We set off the alarms 
Only the Sparrow saw 
Swinging in our four arms 

Under her tree we talked 
Words I shouldn't have said 
Only the Sparrow saw 

Chirping as you walked off 
The Sparrow spread her wings 
I saw her as she wafts 

The Sparrow spread her wings
