The Price of a Sparrow

You can buy me for the price of a sparrow
And if you tell me I'm pretty I won't fly
Buy me for the price of a sparrow
But you have to promise to lie

What does a hooker know about loving
And what does my daddy know about me
There's something wrong and I'm wondering
What could it possibly be

I thought I was so happy
And I think it's such a shame
I thought I was so happy that day
That day you forgot my name

Let my song be your song
Let my song be your song
Let my song be your song

Like gentle rain
On a grateful tree
Spill out my lost soul on me
