Mary Hopkin Sparrow song lyrics

On Sunday morning

Everyone will leave the house

dressed for the Sunday service

And through the streets I used to know

They go to meet their friends

And so they take the family's seed

For the praise or earnestly

Forgetting all around him

When Eleanor sings in the park

It's like a lark in Summer

The Sparrow sings, the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherit all the earth (X2)

A wealth of silence will he send

upon the town

In colours of the evening

The thought has troubled me before

I know, alone, I need a sound to fill each moment

I had to find that out my way

They could'nt stop me leaving

As though they knew, but could not say

They let me go believing

The Sparrow sings, the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird

He shall inherit all the earth (X2)

Through the blue and hazy drift of after two

A saxophone is moaning

I rise and step into the cool night air
