Oh, you little sparrows on a swaying branch Singing to the cars up on the overpass When you fly away from here take me with you when you go A herd of antelope, a sea of redwood trees Schools of shining fish and a thousand buzzing bees Over winter parking lots the passing geese Rising in the air little dandelion seeds When you fly away from here please don't leave me when you go If I were Jonah thrown into the raging sea I would not fear the whale that came to swallow me Oh, you paper cups rolling down the windy street Oh, you little ants winding through the tangled weeds Where you're going I don't care, take me with you when you go
