Marianne Faithfull - Sparrows Will Sing lyrics

(Chorus) A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths And tries to decipher the whole of this unholy mess I have no doubt he will figure it out someday Callooh, callooh callay (Verse) And then the sparrows will sing on the boulevards again And the corridors of power will be walked by thoughtful men Mere sultans and priests [and mythical beasts] will surely fade away Callooh, callooh callay Callooh, callooh callay (Verse 2) The new generation is eager to master the helm They cannot be seduced by this candy floss techno hell They put over the hill and a fresh breeze fills their sails Callooh, callooh callay Callooh, callooh callay (Chorus) A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths To try to untangle the whole of this unholy mess Well I have no doubt they will figure it out one day Callooh, callooh callay Callooh, callooh callay
