The Midnight Ghost Train - The Little Sparrow lyrics

It's 3:34 in the morning And I still haven't gone to bed I shake and scream and tug at my ears From a song stuck in my head I know that I have heard it before And it's notes they make me weep This song comes burrowing through endless night As I desperately try to sleep Its tune is haunting and evil to me My insides are starting to show This brutal song keeps playin' on And this is how it goes Padam padam padam Padam padam padam I been a martyr witnessed hell But never a horror like this It's paralyzing and breaks me down Leaves a tightness in my chest I fear that it's the end of me These chords they rip so deep I can't control the energy I get When the notes begin to leap It has a line that mellows out And I can breathe one more breath But then the bridge comes storming in And this is what it says Padam padam padam Padam padam padam How could music feel so free And still take all that you have I thought you were my savior once But now I see you are my d**h An unrequited love we have I give it all at every show But you take and take and bury my heart And try to strip away my soul I have a wife, I have two sons But you snap them up in two Padam padam padam, you scream To this song my life I give to you So I'll sit here and pick the notes in my head Across this beaten guitar And I'll continue throughout eternity Because the end is still so far
