The Handsome Family - Little Sparrows lyrics

All you little sparrows on a swaying branch Singing to the cars up on the overpa** When you fly away from here Take me with you when you go A herd of antelope A sea of redwood trees Schools of shining fish And a thousand buzzing bees Overwinter parking lots, the pa**ing geese Rising in the air, little dandelion seeds When you fly away from here Please don't leave me when you go If I were Jonah Tossed into the raging sea I would not fear the whale Who came to swallow me All you paper cups rolling down the windy street All you little ants winding through the tangled weeds Where you're going I don't care Take me with you when you go
