"White Sparrows" lyrics - BILLY TALENT

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

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
