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
