I am looking for the lyrics to a song that goes like this

fly little sparrow
northwards to the sun
looking for a place to lay your weary body down

tell me little sparrow tell me what do you see?
i see a winding canyon without a single tree

and it goes winding on forever where once the river ran
oh I hope that i can find
one truly happy man

there is more but i cant remeber it or the name of the singer
