Labi Siffre Sparrow In The Storm
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?
Chorus: 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
(Half Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
