EOn Sunday  moAmrning eveAm/Gryone would leave the hFouse

And through the stAmreets I Dmused to kEnow 
They Amgo to mEeet their frAmiends and so they tAake the family sDmeat
Father prDm/Caise so honBbestly
Forgetting aGll around him
WChen Elenor chE7oir  sings in the qAmuiet
It's like a larDking summer
REF:
The spGarrow siDngs the sparrow fGlies
With mighty wiDngs he reaches
HiCgh as Bmany other bAmird
He shall inhDerite all the eGarth    :x2
EA world of siAmlence will he sAm/Gend upon the tFown
In colors oGf the evCening
The thought has trAmoubled Dmme beEfore
I kAmnow alEone I nAmeed a sound to fAill each mDmoment
I had to fiDm/Cnd it out my Bbway
They couldn't stGop me leaving
As thoCugh they kE7new but could noAmt say
They let me Dgo believing
REF:
The spGarrow siDngs the sparrow flGies
With mighty wiDngs he reaches
HiCgh as Bmany other bAmird
He shall inhDerite all the eGarth    :x2
EThrough the bAmlue and hazy dAm/Grift of after tFwo
The saxopGhone is moCaning
