The Sparrow Flies South For Winter

from The SP EP by Jess Silk

/

lyrics

A man that they don't recognise
Takes a step into the light
Wearing a tan overcoat
Scarf and glasses set in place
Hat pulled low to hide his face
Why he’s there they don’t really know

He’s just a casual observer of what’s going on here today
When this is over he’ll get back into his car and drive away

The man they see on the surface
Is nothing like what’s underneath
The suit, the gun, the skull
He fights monsters, doesn’t sleep
Catches criminals to keep
His death from getting dull

‘Cause he’s no casual observer of their day to day affairs
Because he’s fighting on the front line for the people that he really cares about
When this is over he’ll get back into his car and drive away
Until he’s called again to come and save the day

He spends his time making up for past misdeeds
And if there’s one obscure fact that he’ll be sure to leave
It’s that the sparrow flies south for winter
