You slipped from my arms, I knew you had to go
Such a heavy heart, who could hope to hold
And I know where you're going, and that's the hardest part

No matter where tonight ends, you won't escape your broken heart

Stay a while


Helpless for the words, and it tightens up the air
It's not what you deserve, it's not for lack of care

Inside of me is screaming out, I'm praying for my prayers
Distracting and unworthy of each and every burning tear


Seems insincere

Do I see God in all of this, maybe all along

It's just that we're so small, and simply not as strong
Strong like wings of silver, and feathers made of gold
To carry heavy hearts, to cover all our helpless souls


To cover all of us


Under wings of Gold and Silver sometimes we have to hide
For shelter from this bitter winter at least tonight


If it were mine to give I'd give you your own time
Turn it back or forward whatever you decide


Stay a while
