Letra de Sparrow

I tore my dress in May
Never had the time to mend
I bore your son the day
The sky was red from end to end
I gave to him your name
And on his lips I laid my own
I rocked him through the rain
I held him through the snow
I've been okay with you leaving this town
I've been okay with you traveling all around
Lonely for certain I'm holding my ground
But I'm weary of waiting in a tired town
I wear my hair in braids
I tie it with a golden band
I sweep the porch we made
And then I sit and stare across
This land where I have laid
A son to rest you'd never known
There's lilies on the grave
Beyond the wall of stone
I sold my Sunday shoes
The way I'm walking lately
I'm far better if I lose
The sole that keeps the ground from mine
My way is hardly new
I find I walk a weary line
There's little to refuse
For sparrows left behind
