Where Have the Sparrows Gone?

Blow the dust off Your grandma's gas mask Hide in the place we played Where the woods were once They closed the bridge again They're not letting us out Though we told them years ago They didn't listen to us shout Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? We're headed north Which way were you going to go? I heard there's a truck that leaves From the Old Kent Road Wild fire, wild weather The prophecies came true We read about them years ago No one to blame but me and you Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Took too much from the ocean Took too much from the earth We took more than we needed to More than we could return Ashes in my pocket I'll scatter them when we stop He loved to be by water Down where the waves bow and buck Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Blow the dust off Your grandma's gas mask Hide in the place we played Where the woods were once They closed the bridge again They're not letting us out Though we told them years ago They didn't listen to us shout Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? Where have the sparrows gone? They're where the woods were once Where the woods were once Where the woods were once They're where the woods were once Where the woods were once Where the woods were once --- Where Have the Sparrows Gone? - Emily Barker
