sparrow and the wolf

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
