Come Sunday morning everyone will leave the house, dressed for the Sunday service
C Am E Am E C
And through the streets I used to know they go to meet their friends

Father prays so earnestly, forgetting all around him

When Eleanor sings in the choir, it''''s like a lark in summer

The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies

With mighty wings he reaches
C G D C
As high as any other bird
G D G
He shall inherit all the Earth

The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
D
With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird
G D G
He shall inherit all the Earth
[Verse 2]
Am C/G F G
A wealth of silence will descend upon the town, in colors of the evening
C Am E Am E C
The thought has troubled me before, I know how long I''''ll need
A
A sound to fill each moment
Dm A Dm G
I had to find it out my way, they couldn''''t stop me leaving
C E Am D
As though they knew they could not stay, they let me go believing . . .
[Chorus]
G D G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
D
With mighty wings he reaches
C G D C
As high as any other bird
G D G
He shall inherit all the Earth
G D G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
D
With mighty wings he reaches
C G D C
As high as any other bird
G D G
He shall inherit all the Earth
[Outro]
Am C/G F G
Through the blue and hazy drifts of after two, a saxophone is moaning
C Am E Am C/G F E Am
I rise and step into the cold night air
