about

First written in 2005 or 2006, I added a verse almost by accident last summer.

True story, I sang this last verse in an open field last September, and from the windbreak treeline nearby what did I hear, but a white-throated sparrow singing along with me, resting on his way south.

lyrics

Early on an April evening
Sitting in my garden weeding
I heard a sparrow softly sing

Hey hey, sweet sweet sweet sweetie!

Looking up, I can see
Sitting on a branch in my old pine tree
A sparrow sings his song to me

Hey hey, sweet sweet sweet sweetie!

Pulling weeds from dirt mulched black
I pause, to unbend my back
I whistle and he calls me back

Hey hey, sweet sweet sweet sweetie!

Here is where I find my peace
Sunning in a warm spring breeze
He and I are slow to leave

Hey hey, sweet sweet sweet sweetie!

I'll see you in late September
We can share the season's ember
We'll tell our stories and remember

Hey sweet sweet sweet sweetie!
