Story Behind The Song
A love affair, short and sweet, plain and simple.
Song Description
Really intense, passionate love ripped apart, broken, then a realization that there was no reason to give up. It's too good and worth fighting for, even if it means going insane and giving up part of yourself in the process.

Lyrics
Sparrows Of Stone
That's the way baby, all the way baby
That's the way I'm gonna turn this thing around
You said it's over baby, ain't nothin over baby
I still remember when you put my sad ass out
I'm coming home
Sparrows of stone
I took the long way, I took the alley way
I took everything that I could get my hands on
I paid the piper I paid the lawyer
I paid the devil with my tears that caught on fire
I'm coming home
Sparrows of stone
On the banks of Happy Isles
I got lost inside a smile
I went Candyland insane
In the forest of my brain
I took the long way, I took the alley way
I took everything that I could get my hands on
I paid the piper, I paid the lawyer
I paid the devil with my tears that caught on fire
I'm coming home
Sparrows of stone
On the banks of Happy Isles
I got lost inside a smile
I went Candyland insane
In the forest of my brain
