Black Sparrow from MIRROR MAKER by SAVAK

black sparrow, black sparrow
I dreamt of seven hills
black sparrow, black sparrow
where caesar’s blood was spilled

black sparrow, black sparrow
conspiracy breathes far and near
black sparrow, black sparrow
we capitulate to all our fears

black sparrow, black sparrow
true wisdom eludes our grasp
black sparrow, black sparrow
we blithely retrace our past

black sparrow, black sparrow
let me sleep till spring
black sparrow, black sparrow
I want to see what the dust will bring

black sparrow, black sparrow
I will follow you out west
black sparrow, black sparrow
there’s no water in los angeles

black sparrow, black sparrow
I’ll plant a flower in the sand
black sparrow, black sparrow
a pitiable pleasure for a lonely man

black sparrow, black sparrow
you’re my painting, you’re my book
black sparrow, black sparrow
you are everywhere I look

black sparrow, black sparrow
were I hungry and nearly dead
black sparrow, black sparrow
would you tell me if my letters went unread
