Sparrow In The Storm

(album: The Last Songs - 2006)

In the beginning lives the end
Can the foe become your friend?
Easy answers there are none, though
Frightened grown ups search for one

In these broken bloody times
We need more than TV smiles
Behind the eyes the door is tight shut
Behind the makeup, just more makeup

When the pain is such, feelings turn to dust
Are there tears enough to wash all of us?

I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Seasons come and seasons go
That you love me is all I need to know
I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Hold my hand and time will show
That you love me is all I need to know

The message written on our walls
For the strong to climb : the weak must fall
This is heresy I guess, but could the strong
Perhaps learn to live with less

When the pain is such, feelings turn to dust
Are there tears enough to wash all of us?
When I need a friend, here you are again
You let me comfort you like only lovers do

I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Seasons come and seasons go
That you love me is all I need to know

As the birthdays come and go
The more I understand, the less I know
As the birthdays come and go
Only one thing I know

I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Seasons come and seasons go
That you love me is all I need to know
I'm a sparrow in the storm
Without your love to keep me warm
Hold my hand and time will show
That you love me is all I need to know
