The Handsome Family Little Sparrows Lyrics

Oh, you little sparrows on a swaying branch
Singing to the cars up on the overpass
ill 1
horus 1
When you fly away from here
Take me with you when you go
ridge 1
A herd of antelope, a sea of redwood trees
Schools of shining fish and a thousand buzzing bees
Over winter parking lots the passing geese
Rising in the air little dandelion seeds
ill 2
horus 2
When you fly away from here
Please don't leave me when you go
ill 3
ridge 2
If I were Jonah tossed into the raging sea
I would not fear the whale that came to swallow me
Oh, you paper cups rolling down the windy street
Oh, you little ants winding through the tangled weeds
ill 4
horus 3
Where you're going I don't care
Take me with you when you go
