Kasey Chambers - Little Sparrow Lyrics

all ye maidens hear me warning
never trade the hearts of men
they will crush you like a sparrow
leaving you to never mend
they will vow to always love you
swear no love but yours will do
then they'll leave you for another
break your little heart in two

(chours)
little sparrow, little sparrow
precious fragile little thing
little sparrow, little sparrow
flies sp high and feels no pain

if i were a little sparrow
o'er these mountains i would fly
i would find him, i would find him
and look into his lying eyes
i would flutter all around him
on my little sparrow wings
i would ask him, i would ask him
why he let me love in vain

i am not a little sparrow
i am just a broken dream
of a cold, false-hearted lover
and his evil cunning scheme)

(repeat chours)
