Josh Rouse - Sparrows Over Birmingham lyrics

Fell down on both knees

You were young

Bones still soft

Legs fell numb

Oh how those sparrows sang for you

So you grew up

An isolated pup

You had some books

You had some love

Oh God was watching over you

Oh how those sparrows sang for you

You witnessed a man

A holy man

Touched your head

With his gentle hands

Oh God was watching over you

Lived in a house

In birmingham

A preacher's son

The Lord's plan

Oh God was watching over you

Oh how those sparrows sang for two

When you arrived

He carried you there

Near the preacher's son

Your only love

Oh God was watching over you

Wedding bells rang

(Wedding bells ring)

Church choir sang

(Church choir sing)

A gospel song

(Whoa-oh oh whoa)

A beautiful one

(A beautiful one)

Oh such a melancholy tune

(It's a sad tune mmmm-mmm)

Oh how it reminds me of you
