Sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass
|
Like worn leather boots, of colour and size that would last
|
Caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing
|
Then they tore it apart, before that small bird could sing
|
|
Confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain
|
She turned back him, begged for love to remain
|
But plans have been made, all of the furniture sold
|
So store up your hate, use it for warmth when you're cold
|
|
For I have seen no joy, only danger,
|
I seen no joy, only strangers,
|
I seen no joy, seen no joy in this world
|
Should you, choose to go, please be careful of,
|
Lonesome roads, men that travel them,
|
Will not know, will not know of your ways
|
|
Still I have, seen no joy, only dangers,
|
I seen no joy, only strangers,
|
I seen no joy, seen no joy in this world,
|
You should choose to go, please be faithful of
|
What you learned, from that little bird,
|
Always dear, always dear to my heart
|
