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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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? [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
