Tim O'brien - Space Between The Lines lyrics

There's a little sparrow singin' In a ring around the sun And I'm right here on the shoulder Just stickin' out my thumb No one tells a bird to fly They just jump and spread their wings They fly south in the winter And then they come back in the spring And I'm right back where I started In the space between the lines I come expecting nothing But what I find I don't follow others' footsteps I'm the wind between the pines I only wish that I could stay here In the space between the lines And there's an angel in the desert And an island in the sand And I'm right here on the shoulder So I'll get there when I can No one tells a bird to fly They just jump and spread their wings It was time for me to travel Until I found my song to sing And I'm right back where I'd started In the space between the lines I come expecting nothing But what I find I don't follow others' footsteps I'm the wind between the pines I only wish that I could stay here In the space between the lines
