White Sparrows Lyrics

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 Our love will remain, I'm crying in pain
