lyrics

A juvenile sparrow leaving the nest
A moment of silence suddenly unrepressed
But it falls much like the scales
It falls but we really know
Climb through the hollowed out willows
Hide in one for a little while if you like
I'm told it's quite comfortable inside
You don't suspect but i know the reason
I have an idea
You may be privy to it
But don't tell the others
I’m worried about them
There’s a place I know
It’s kind of a secret
It’s not exactly hidden
But it’s not where you’d expect
Containers and trailers passed
I know the yard is vast
A vague gateway hole
Smooth passage unrequired
So much past the wires
To watch a miracle grow
So now that you’ve been here
And you know what’s in store
I can see you giving me that look
That glazed glint of rare spirit
Yeah, I’ve pulled you back in
I’ve never seen you so energized
It really got to you didn’t it?
Can you keep a secret?
I live in the spaces between
Won't you come join me?
I can’t guarantee anything
You know what you’re in for
A pocket contains so much
A whisper tessellates
The sparrow’s alive I knew it would be
It can now fly but it’s still unaware
