White Sparrows Lyrics & Chords By 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 cryin' in pain, cryin' 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 cryin' in pain, (cryin' in pain) cryin' in pain
Our love will remain, (love will remain) I'm cryin' in pain
