White Sparrows
Today I walked down our old streetPast the diner where we'd meetNow I dine alone in our old seatsThe cold wind blows right through my bonesAnd I feel like I'm getting oldBut I wish I was getting old with youI held your hand while we took shelter from the rainShe laughed as we picked out our children's names
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her awayBlack arrows cut the strings of my heart,I kneel and pray
Her clothes hang in the closet stillThe phone sits on the windowsillAnd every time it rings it gives me chillsMy heart just stopped when I was toldDoctor, doctor, on the phoneSaid my love was never coming homeI hold your casket gently walking to the graveDark clouds eclipse the sun won't shine again
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her awayBlack arrows cut the strings of my heart,I kneel and prayThey gave her one more dayTo say the words I couldn't sayI'm crying in pain, crying in pain
And I'm not looking for answersNo, I'm not looking for answersBut dear God, why did you choose her?
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her awayBlack arrows cut the strings of my heart,I kneel and prayThey gave her one more dayTo say the words I couldn't sayI'm crying in pain (crying in pain)Crying in painOur love will remainI'm crying in pain.
