Description
I have never been a hunter, but I had a meal once in a diner in Titusville, PA during deer season. I was struck by the fathers and sons and the bonding that was so apparent. I hope that this song encourages fathers to find something special that you can do with your sons that may spark a memory like this one.

Lyrics
A few inches of fresh snow
Sparrow with a winter song
I was just a young boy
But not for very long.
Nock the arrow quietly
Rustle in the brush ahead
My Dad smiling next to me
He told me to be strong.
An eight point buck staring back at me
Maybe today you’ll get your first stag
Still see his face as we hunted our prey
But mine was already in the bag.
Parking lot full of trucks
I had the special of the day
Burly men with tall tales
Of the one that got away.
My Dad had them in his hands
They could see me draw the bow
Must have been a gust of wind
As the arrow went astray.
Chorus
Two hours on the interstate
He helped me with the seat belt
Wipers put me in a trance
And the snow began to melt
His hand upon my shoulder
Carried me into a dream
To this day, the warmest thing
That I have ever felt.
Sparrow with a winter song
I was just a young boy
But not for very long.
Nock the arrow quietly
Rustle in the brush ahead
My Dad smiling next to me
He told me to be strong.
An eight point buck staring back at me
Maybe today you’ll get your first stag
Still see his face as we hunted our prey
But mine was already in the bag.
Parking lot full of trucks
I had the special of the day
Burly men with tall tales
Of the one that got away.
My Dad had them in his hands
They could see me draw the bow
Must have been a gust of wind
As the arrow went astray.
Chorus
Two hours on the interstate
He helped me with the seat belt
Wipers put me in a trance
And the snow began to melt
His hand upon my shoulder
Carried me into a dream
To this day, the warmest thing
That I have ever felt.
