Ted Leo - The Mighty Sparrow lyrics

When the cafe doors exploded, I reacted, too Reacted to you Cast into that sunny morning, I was coming too But now I'm coming too Papers in the wind a-waltzing, I was dancing, too My mind danced to you Lifted up on wings of strangers, saw a face and knew Then I saw you - red, white and bruised Silent for a moment, then singing, I thought I could hear Singing turned to sirens as ringing returned to my ears And the sirens called me back to their miserable rock While you're following the sparrow, I can only follow the clock
