You’re Just Like a Sparrow

Loretta you’re just like a sparrow to me
How you hide all your secrets down under your wings
And when you find yourself flying away
It’s so hard to stay aloft while you carry their weight

Loretta you see how it comes back on you
All the shadows that you gather up to cover the truth
But now it seems that your cover’s been blown
Will you fly off again and abandon your home

Loretta you’re just like a sparrow to me
How you puff out your feathers for lying
It seems that you’d just as soon give up your wings
You’re a sparrow that’s tired of flying
