White Sparrows

[Verse 1] Today I walked down our old street Past the diner where we’d meet Now I dine alone in our old seats The cold wind blows right through my bones And I feel like I’m getting old But I wish I was getting old with you [Pre-Chorus 1] I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain She laughed as we picked out our children’s names [Chorus] White sparrows Fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray [Verse 2] Her clothes hang in the closet still The phone sits on the windowsill And every time it rings it gives me chills My heart just stopped when I was told Doctor, doctor, on the phone Said my love was never coming home [Pre-Chorus 2] I hold your casket gently, walking to the grave Dark clouds eclipse, the sun won’t shine again [Chorus] White sparrows Fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray [Post-Chorus] They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain Crying in pain [Bridge] And I’m not looking for answers No, I’m not looking for answers But dear God, why did you choose her? [Chorus] White sparrows Fell from heaven and carried her away Black arrows Cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray [Post-Chorus] They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain Crying in pain Our love will remain I’m crying in pain
