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 

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
