I've been across the world, across the neighborhood 'Til I came to rest here And eat you good And I looked up to a Sycamore tree Looked into a sparrow's nest, tell you what I see I saw the house where I was raised And where I've been my younger days I saw my mother, saw my father too Saw everybody that I ever knew In a sparrow's nest In a sparrow's nest Saw it all in the sparrow's nest Right there in the sparrow's nest ♪ Saw a wild dog running, saw a horseshoe Saw him liking primrose, I need sample too So I map up the wide world, so a silver chain I heard a whistleblowing, saw the morning train In a sparrow's nest In a sparrow's nest Saw it all in the sparrow's nest Right there in the sparrow's nest ♪ I saw the world, I took away from home I saw every footsteps, that left me alone Saw the city wit and woes, streets and doors I saw the bright light shining 'til I couldn't see no more In a sparrow's nest In a sparrow's nest Saw it all in the sparrow's nest Right there in the sparrow's nest In a sparrow's nest In a sparrow's nest Saw it all in the sparrow's nest Right there in the sparrow's nest
