[Verse 1] I found a feather in my shoe On a Tuesday with bad news Coffee gone cold in the cup Still, something little woke me up A boy on the corner sold pens Said, "Take your time, my friend" I bought one just for the blue Then wrote a note to someone I knew [Pre-Chorus] And it said, stay near Don't fade out now We make our own weather Somehow [Chorus] Pocketful of sparrows Pocketful of sun Small things save me When the day won't come Pocketful of sparrows Under my coat Tiny, stubborn hope That's the line I know (pocketful of sparrows) [Verse 2] My aunt keeps basil by the sink Says, "Breathe before you think" She wraps old bread in a towel Like love is simple if you allow The train rolled in with a hiss I missed my stop, then I missed The urge to be anywhere else So I sat still, and it helped [Pre-Chorus] And it said, stay near Don't fade out now We make our own weather Somehow [Chorus] Pocketful of sparrows Pocketful of sun Small things save me When the day won't come Pocketful of sparrows Under my coat Tiny, stubborn hope That's the line I know (pocketful of sparrows) [Bridge] If the sky falls low I'll still have a seed If the whole room shakes I'll keep what I need One soft wingbeat In the palm of my hand I don't need forever Just a place to stand [Final Chorus] Pocketful of sparrows Pocketful of sun Small things save me When the day won't come Pocketful of sparrows Under my coat Tiny, stubborn hope That's the line I know (pocketful of sparrows) Pocketful of sparrows Pocketful of light I can make it through If I hold on tight (hold on tight)
