White Sparrows

  • 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
    I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
    She laughed as we picked out our children's names

    White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
    Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

    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
    I hold your casket gently walking to the grave
    Dark clouds eclipse the sun won't shine again

    White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
    Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

    They gave her one more day
    To say the words I couldn't say
    I'm crying in pain, crying in pain

    And I'm not looking for answers
    No, I'm not looking for answers
    But dear God, why did you choose her?

    White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
    Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

    They gave her one more day
    To say the words I couldn't say
    I'm crying in pain (crying in pain)
    Crying in pain
    Our love will remain
    I'm crying in pain Writer/s: AARON SOLOWONIUK, BEN KOWALEWICZ, IAN D'SA, JON GALLANT
