The Little Brown Sparrow And Me Lyrics

One green April mornin', when I was a young boy 
I lay by the window, a-watchin' the rain 
And I wondered if ever the sun would come shinin' 
So I could go somewhere to play  
 
Then down from the sky flew a little brown sparrow 
And he lit on the branch of an old willow tree 
And he sit there, watchin', as I lay wond'rin' 
Just the little brown sparrow and me  
 
On a green April mornin', when I was a young boy 
And little brown sparrows were free  
 
Then he looked in my window and he spied his reflection 
There was the willow, there was the sky 
And he wondered if ever the sun would come shinin' 
And which was the way for the sparrow to fly  
 
Well, he spread out his wings and he flew to the window 
Fast as the wind, sure as could be 
But the sky in the window was only a wishin' 
For the little brown sparrow and me  
 
On a green April mornin', when I was a young boy 
And little brown sparrows were free  
 
So there by the window, the sparrow had fallen 
He died on the ground in the cold April rain 
And I wondered if ever the sun would come shinin' 
And someone could only explain  
 
Then I laid there and saw the wind blow through the willow 
And cover him over with yesterday's leaves 
And there in the rain, I cried for a sparrow 
For a little brown sparrow and me  
 
On a green April mornin', when I was a young boy 
And little brown sparrows were free 
On a green April mornin', when life was a window 
For a little brown sparrow and me
