Verse

 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

 I held your hand while we took shelter from the rain

 She laughed as we picked out our childrens names

Chorus

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away

 Black arrows cut the strings of my heart I kneel and pray

Verse

 Her clothes hang in the closet still

 Her 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

 I hold your casket gently walk you 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

 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

 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
