lyrics

I was a cloud,
I was a cloud looking down;
Your frantic waving did not provoke feeling.

But this little one-
Steady your wings, now, sparrow
I remembered him-
Steady your course, now, sparrow

And in the dark,
from the sea marbled and moon-blue
into the burning eye of the sun
without feeling

My end was imminent-
Steady your course now, sparrow
but I remembered him-
Fear for your home life, sparrow
Fear for your home life
