Sparrow - Simon and Garfunkel

Sparrow by Paul Simon and sung by Simon and Garfunkel...and, yes, I know, but golden wheat is hard to locate for filming in the spring : )

Sparrow

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Whos traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
"I wont share my branches with
no sparrows nest,
And my blanket of leaves wont warm
her cold breast."

Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan,
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,
Id be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard."

Who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all Ive created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."

@simonMANwithNOname Thanks! Yeah, it's funny how such commonly known images are not so commonly available to see in real life...but it does seem most of us have access to a sparrow. Thanks for watching and leaving such positive comments!

Simple and true, the message, the song, the video

You know, he signed the contract and then, just before the curtain call, his agent shows up to demand more compensation...we were already set up to film and, well, let's just say there was considerable savings in time and cost by simply cutting him out of the script!

Rummage around in your imagination and I bet that swan will appear at the right time and place for you... : )

although the sparrow doesn`t look starving :-), still great video, like your imagination.

but ever wonder , the song looks like without an ending...

@OKBasic Thanks - glad you liked it enough to stop and comment. Hope you are having (or had...) a great weekend!

[OKBasic]

@Plans4Nobody haha, nice video

[Plans4Nobody]

@OKBasic It is possible...swans are hard to come by around here, so any ill-fated activities on the part of the potential participant would have occured elsewhere...how would you recussitate (sp?) a swan?
