Little Sparrow

lyrics

I met you on a Tuesday, as the sun it slipped away
And left us in darkness and chains
My little sparrow, your eyes start to narrow
You said “I don’t think I can go home again”
Cause’ you were the first love, you were the last
You were the one who turned my heart to glass
And it’s your song that’s bringing this tear to my eye
And it’s your song I sing on these long drunken nights

I said “Slow down and lean on me know
Cause I’m lost in, the fire in your eyes
I said, slow down and lean on me now
Cause I’m lost in your eyes.

The taste of your perfume, is filling was whole room
So dull and so warm and so sweet
I’d never known passion, or anticipation
As our bodies entwined under sheets
And I held you so tight, like you were the last
With my hand down your back just like the rain on the glass
it’s your song that brings a tear to my eye
And it’s your song that I sing on these long drunken nights

I said “Slow down and lean on me know
Cause I’m lost in, the fire in your eyes
I said, slow down and lean on me now
Cause I’m lost in your eyes.

One more touch, one more taste
One more time, with your hands round my waist
One more touch and darling one more taste
Before you leaving me here to waste….
Away I said darling sing it out

I said “Slow down and lean on me know
Cause I’m lost in, the fire in your eyes
I said, slow down and lean on me now
Cause I’m lost in your eyes

Nathan Seeckts Geelong, Australia

Seemingly hewn from Bellarine Peninsula basalt, Seeckts’ vocal is imbued with all the heart worn grit of Steve Earle, grounding songs that are alternately heaving, shivering and jangling with feeling. Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
