Sparrow Song

Oh the shadows of the evening
tell me that it's time to go
for the evil moon is creeping
through the valley far below
though your heart believes that promises
are paper on the wind
I promise I'll return to you, my friend

You're another of those secrets
that I will never tell
a penny no light reaches
at the bottom of the well
though your heart believes that promises
are stories told by men
I promise I'll return to you again

All the sparrows and the swallows
and the eagle where they roam
have an arrow that they follow
in their heart to lead them home
though your heart believes that promises
are only wasted breath
I promise I'll return to you my friend


You And Me

Yesterday's just a memory
tomorrow is a dream
all we have got is one short hour
you and me

I never thought I'd see the day
you would love me too
but this world has seen much stranger things
than me and you

Tell all the stars to shut their eyes
and turn out the moon
ask everyone to wait a while
for me and you

Some people hear a ghost that sings
or wind up in the tree
but we know its a new lullaby
for you and me
