The Cat Empire
Sparrow
[Intro: Felix]
We went long into the night
Our fire was strong, our eyes were bright

And though I failed in my desire
I tried my love, my love I tried

I know these chords have played before
I played one-thousand times or more

And if I fail to write them new
Just know my love I tried for you

[Verse: Felix]
In the light you'll disappear
Into the world outside
In the night you shine so clear
And burn so bright

You're my sparrow in the night
And all I rea-ea-eally mean is

[Chorus 1: Felix, All]
I wanna lift
Yea-ea-ea-ea-eah
Yeah I just wanna fly
Ah-ah-ah-ah-I
Like Pele said "No I'm not dead"
I wanna be with you again
A sparrow in the night

I wanna li-i-i-ift
I just wanna fly
Ah-ah-ah-ah-I

I wanna face the sky, say "I'm not dead"
I wanna be with you again
My sparrow in the night

[Chorus 2: Felix]
I can't find it in no fame
I can't find it down those stairs
I can't find it on no roll
Or when I'm out there gambling

I can't find it on no screen
It's not showing anywhere
I can't find it without you
Without you here

[Post-Chorus: All]
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei

[Bridge: Felix]
Maybe I'll find you in the wild far from here
Like a memory far gone
That always near
You keep this animal alive
And all I really mean is

[Chorus 1: Felix, All]
I wanna li-i-i-ift
I just wanna fly
Ah-ah-ah-ah-I

Like Pele said "No I'm not dead"
I wanna be with you again
My sparrow in the night

I wanna li-i-i-ift
I just wanna fly
Ah-ah-ah-ah-I

I wanna face the sky, say "I'm not dead"
I wanna be with you again
My sparrow in the ni-igh-ight
[Chorus 2: Felix]
I can't find it in no fame
I can't find it down those stairs
I can't find it on no roll
Or when I'm out there gambling

I can't find it on no screen
It's not showing anywhere
I can't find it without you
Without you here with me

[Bridge: Felix]
When the numbers all add up
I'm so bored oh can't you see?
With them one and one makes two
With you one and one is three

I need a life a little spark
I need to let it all hang free
But I can't do it without you
Without you here

[Post-Chorus: All]
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei

Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei

Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei

Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-ee-lei
Lei-lei-lei-lei-lei-lei
