♪Brick and stone made aviaryBlocking out the sun and skyIs it really necessary?You need freedom, so do IThese stone walls are cold and narrowNo place for a java sparrowAnd just like them, I'm so far from home♪If I was a South Sea islandI would share my sun with youAll the stars on my horizonsWould rise to find their light in youShooting stars like an arrowFaster than a java sparrowAnd just like them, I'm so far from home♪Oh, oh, oh, oh♪If you see me when you're sleepingThat means you're my guiding lightAll my love is in your keepingThrough the long and lonely nightLove that reaches to the marrowWarmer than a java sparrowAnd just like them, I'm so far from home♪♪
