Blow the dust off
Your grandma's gas mask
Hide in the place we played
Where the woods were once

They closed the bridge again
They're not letting us out
Though we told them years ago
They didn't listen to us shout

Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?

We're headed north
Which way were you going to go?
I heard there's a truck that leaves
From the Old Kent Road

Wild fire, wild weather
The prophecies came true
We read about them years ago
No one to blame but me and you

Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?

Took too much from the ocean
Took too much from the earth
We took more than we needed to
More than we could return

Ashes in my pocket
I'll scatter them when we stop
He loved to be by water
Down where the waves bow and buck

Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?

Blow the dust off
Your grandma's gas mask
Hide in the place we played
Where the woods were once

They closed the bridge again
They're not letting us out
Though we told them years ago
They didn't listen to us shout

Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
Where have the sparrows gone?
They're where the woods were once
Where the woods were once
Where the woods were once
They're where the woods were once
Where the woods were once
Where the woods were once
