The Cat Empire - Sparrow Lyrics

The Cat Empire Lyrics

"Sparrow"

We went long into the night
Our fire was strong, our eyes were bright
And though I failed in my desire
I tried my love, my love I tried
I know these chords have played before
They played one thousand times or more
And if I failed to write them new
Just know my love I tried for you

In the light you'll disappear
Into the world outside
In the night you shine so clear
And burn so bright
You're my sparrow in the night
And all I really mean is

I want to lift yeah
Yeah I just want to fly
Like Pele said 'No I'm not dead'
I want to be with you again
My sparrow in the night
I want to lift
I just want to fly
I want to face the sky, say 'I'm not dead'
I want to be with you again
My sparrow in the night

I can't find it in no fame
I can't find it down those stairs
I can't find it on no roll
Or when I'm out there gambling
I can't find it on no screen
It's not showing anywhere
I can't find it without you
Without you here

Lei lei lei lei lei lei lei...

Maybe I'll find you in the wild
Far from here
Like a memory far gone
But always near
You keep this animal alive
And all I really mean is

I want to lift
I just want to fly
Like Pele said 'No I'm not dead'
I want to be with you again
My sparrow in the night
I want to lift
I just want to fly
I want to face the sky say 'I'm not dead'
I want to be with you again
My sparrow in the night

I can't find it in no fame
I can't find it down those stairs
I can't find it on no roll
Or when I'm out there gambling
I can't find it on no screen
It's not showing anywhere
I can't find it without you
Without you here with me

When the numbers all add up
I'm so bored oh can't you see
With them one and one makes two
With you one and one is three
I need a life a little spark
I need to let it all hang free
But I can't do it without you
Without you here

Lei lei lei lei lei lei lei...
