Stephanie Seymour - House Sparrow Lyrics

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily
Some people might not even think twice
About a girl that I named Emily

You were small, you were so small
You were on the lawn, you were almost gone
There was life, there was a little life
So we found some shade in the addition we made, and

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily
Some people might not even think twice
About a girl that I named Emily

You were weak, you were so weak
But food and water made you stronger
You had spunk, you had a lot of spunk
You watched my eyes as I sat by your side, singing

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily
Some people might not even think twice
About a girl that I named Emily

Two hours later, you were as good as new
We brought you to the open window
Where we thought you'd fly right through
Whoever said "bird brain" never knew you
You looked back at us to say "thank you"
And then you flew
(We'll never forget you)

This is the story of a girl named Emily
A girl named Emily, a girl named Emily
Some people might not even think twice
About a House Sparrow I named Emily
This is only one day in the life
Of a House Sparrow I named Emily
