Very sad. |

04 Aug 03 - 04:15 AM (#996276) Subject: ADD: Sparrow song (Bruce Woodley) From: Joe Offer I cleaned up the transcription of the Seekers song Masato linked to. SPARROW SONG (Bruce Woodley) Fly little sparrow High above the clouds Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down Fly little sparrow Northward to the sun Wonder if you'll ever Find yourself a home Tell me little sparrow Tell me what do you see I see a concrete canyon Without a single tree And it goes winding on forever Where once broad rivers ran Oh I hope that I can find One truly happy land Fly little sparrow High above the clouds Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down I seek a land of far horizons A gentle wind and summer rain Where the children are not hungry And they put an end to pain And I will sing a song of freedom In the arms of the golden tree Is there such a place on Earth For a tiny bird like me Fly little sparrow High above the clouds Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down Yes and fly on little sparrow Northward to the sun Wonder if you'll ever Find yourself a home I thought I had all the original Seekers recordings, but I can't find this one on them. Maybe it's a newer song - it's on a 1991 CD called The Best of the Seekers Today, recorded by Julie Anthony with original Seekers members Bruce Woodley, Athol Guy, and Keith Potger. When I realized the CD didn't have my heartthrob Judith Durham, I listened to it only once. Now that I have the earlier Seekers albums and can listen to Judith whenever I want, I can listen to this one without disappointment, and I have to say it sounds pretty good. -Joe Offer- |

In '89 the group re-covered it with Julie Anthony, for the Live On album, but the original recording is only around on vinyl. (The album was called "The Seekers" - like at least one of the Judith albums in the 60s! In '76 they did another one called "Giving and Taking." |
