Case, Neko - Maybe Sparrow Lyrics






Maybe sparrow you should wait
The hawks alight till morning
You'll never pass beyond the gate
If you don't hear my warning

Notes are hung so effortless
With the rise and fall of sparrow's breast
It's a drowning dive and back to the chorus

La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da

Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning

Maybe sparrow it's too late
Moonlight glanced off metal wings
In a thunderstorm above the clouds
The engine hums a sparrow's phrase
For those who cannot hear the words
For those who will not hear the words
For those who will not hear the words

La di da di da di da
La di da di da di da

Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow
Maybe sparrow

  1. u.... ....

    I don't quite understand the meaning of this song. Is it really about birds? I feel like there is some deeper meaning with with reference to human life

  2. A.... C....

    Brilliant. Captivating.

  3. N.... ....

    Neko Case siempre me hace llorar cada vez que traduzco sus letras

  4. J.... M....

    LA de da de da de dum..🦉

  5. K.... L....

    Her songs are so awesome

  6. C.... T....

    A lot of people think this song is about her warning her past self about how boys will break you. I think this song is about a mother warning her child (her sparrow) about how hard life is and telling her to be careful, telling her it's harder than you think. Then the sparrow doesn't listen and life takes them away...

    C.... T....

    I agree. Every bird needs to learn to fly. leaving the nest, so to speak. As a parent, we too need to learn how to let our fledglings fly.

  8. M.... ....

    Something with the voice and video animation reminds me of the song Jack & Jill by Kim Richey.

  9. C.... G....

    went to high school in Ohio with a girl named sparrow. she was a wild child that loved coke.

    C.... G....

    yikes..

    C.... G....

    Cola I hope........

  10. b.... ....

    Rad video!

  11. f.... S....

    Wait, is this a song about hawks or owls? Should I believe the lyrics or the video?

    f.... S....

    Maybe thats just a really confused artists mental vision of a hawk?

  12. w.... ....

    She has perfect taste in: Words, Sounds, Images.

  13. W.... G....

    fuck hawks

    W.... G....

    an owl killed the sparrow.

    W.... G....

    HOW DID YOU KNOW

    W.... G....

    I mean, that's fair, but dang

    W.... G....

    Hawk is the worst. But *dang.*

    W.... G....

    Y'all got a point. Hawks can hang/hang glide. Sparrows are just trying to get by but aren't we all?

  16. L.... K....

    best viewed at sparrow's fart...

  17. j.... ....

    This is the saddest song in the history of the world

  18. A.... L....

    This is such a sad song if you put it in a certain perspective. A few points are, The sparrow that sang would be gone FOREVER! And its bones would turn to dust eventually.
