SPARROWGRASS by Sally Allen

Bird can’t fly with a broken wing, unsung love with the heart can’t sing
Sit right down and the spell will pass, then the storm will blow through the sparrowgrass
Charcoal sky on an April morning, your mother’s love is overflowing.
Creaking sound of a rocking chair, baby’s cry in the morning air.
When the wind blows the night bird sings. I open my heart to what life brings
The moon moves slow, only time will tell. A penny dropped in a wishing well
Put your head upon my breast. Fallen leaf that comes to the rest
Seasons change and you’ll grow strong, to each other we belong.
Watch the dark clouds racing by, as I sing you this lullaby
Milking while your silhouette. These are days that I won’t forget
When I hold you to my breast, my mind’s at peace, a moments rest.
Tender love flows from this river, little arrow I’m your quiver.
Bird can fly when the wing as healed. Song of love when the love is real
Sit right down and the spell will pass, the storm brings rain for the sparrowgrass
