sparrows and sparrows sparrows and sparrows and robins and robins empty beer bottles and heart broken arrows dreams in dungeons and children who love ya flowers in bloom and me without you there's a stillness in the midwest and a ringin' in my ears ev'rything I think about ain't very clear the pine trees are lined up under the blue stumblin' an ol' street and me without you chorus there's a thickness and a blackness wrapped in my mind ev'ry good moment pushes on time I'm cussin' the buses and cars flyin' by' where is the real truth for me without you chorus chorus
