[Verse 1]
All around us flies the snow
Winter finds us moving slow
From a dark wood comes the sound
Of a tall tree falling down

[Verse 2]
Little sparrow, did you hear?
Wings of angels draw you near
Breath of winter chills the ground
Now a tall tree's fallen down

[Verse 3]
Little sparrow, did you weep?
Did you wake from restless sleep?
Was your heart then turned around
By a tall tree falling down?

[Bridge]
From the dark wood comes the sound
Breath of winter chills the ground
Was your heart then turned around
Sparrow?

[Verse 4]
Little sparrow, still you fly
Still you gaze into the sky
Are you longing, do you yearn
For a tall tree to return?
[Verse 5]
All around us flies the snow
Winter finds us moving slow
From a dark wood comes the sound
Of a tall tree falling down
