GBalmorhDea, well, Cwhat say Gyou?
GWill you meDet me there when I Ccome passing thrDough?
EmAnd if you find reaDson to hide, you kCnow where you can Gcome.
GThat is, if I'm Dnot the one you're Cstill hiding Gfrom.
[Verse 2]
GBut I pawned Dmy faith there and I Ccouldn't buy it Gback,
GWhen you said yoDur life there on the Cstage was all an Dact.
EmWhere the world saw you as Da phoenix on the Cwind with wings of Gfire,
GOh, it's plain to Dme, you'll always be a sCparrow,
Singing Cmsoftly on the wGire.
Whoa-oh, a Csparrow singing Cmsoftly on the Gwire.
[Verse 3]
GNow the boys Dtalk over and the Cgirls chatter Gloud
GAnd your precious Ddirge upon the Cstage was so drowned Dout.
EmBut I realized it's Dnot the song or the Cstage that made you Gshine;
GIt's the way you sDpeak, your soft mystique, and Cone day I,
For a seaCmson, tried to make you Gmine.
OCne day I, for a Cmseason, tried to make you Gmine.

Will you meet me there when I come passing through?

But I pawned my faith there and I couldn't buy it back,

When you said your life there on the stage was all an act.

Now the boys talk over and the girls chatter loud

And your precious dirge upon the stage was so drowned out.

It's the way you speak, your soft mystique, and one day I,

For a season, tried to make you mine.

One day I, for a season, tried to make you mine.
