Sparrow - The Cat Empire

We went long into the night

Our fire was strong, our eyes were bright

And though I failed in my desire

I tried my love, my love I tried

I know these chords have played before

They played one thousand times or more

And if I failed to write them new

Just know my love I tried for you

In the light you’ll disappear

Into the world outside

In the night you shine so clear

And burn so bright

You’re my sparrow in the night

And all I really mean is

I want to lift yeah

Yeah I just want to fly

Like Pele said 'No I’m not dead'

I want to be with you again

My sparrow in the night

I want to lift

I just want to fly

I want to face the sky, say 'I'm not dead'

I want to be with you again

My sparrow in the night

I can’t find it in no fame

I can’t find it down those stairs

I can’t find it on no roll

Or when I’m out there gambling

I can’t find it on no screen

It’s not showing anywhere

I can’t find it without you

Without you here

Lei lei lei lei lei lei lei…

Maybe I’ll find you in the wild

Far from here

Like a memory far gone

But always near

You keep this animal alive

And all I really mean is

I want to lift

I just want to fly

Like Pele said 'No I’m not dead'

I want to be with you again

My sparrow in the night

I want to lift

I just want to fly

I want to face the sky say 'I'm not dead'

I want to be with you again

My sparrow in the night

I can’t find it in no fame

I can’t find it down those stairs

I can’t find it on no roll

Or when I’m out there gambling

I can’t find it on no screen

It’s not showing anywhere

I can’t find it without you

Without you here with me

When the numbers all add up

I’m so bored oh can’t you see

With them one and one makes two

With you one and one is three

I need a life a little spark

I need to let it all hang free

But I can’t do it without you

Without you here

Lei lei lei lei lei lei lei…
