Seaside Sparrow

Seaside sparrow fighting wind and rain
Sad o's in the cedars on my lane
Warm behind my window
How can I complain?
Seagrass claws for anchor in the sand
(I was, I am, I was, I am, I can, I can)
Fragile thanks for what the waves have planned
(I tried, I wasn't, I was, I wasn't, I'm gone)

A lesson washing over me
That I can't understand like me
I can hardly feel my feet
Surely I am going wrong

I can't seem to find my way
Where's the bread crumbs?
I just follow asking questions
Then run out of time, time, time, time

Groove this sharp new silver curve of wave
(I can hardly feel my feet, surely I am going wrong)
Knifing through the waters toward his grave
(I can't seem to find my way, where's the bread crumbs?)
Helps me to remember
The hurt that I forgave

I just follow asking questions
I just follow asking questions
I just follow asking questions
I just follow asking questions
