You slipped from my arms I knew you had to go Such a heavy heart Who could hope to hold 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 Stay a while Stay a while Helpless for the words And it tightens up the air It's not for lack of care It's not what you deserve Inside of me is screaming out And praying for my prayers Of each and every burning tear Distracting and unworthy Seems insincere Maybe all along Do I see God in all of this And simply not as strong It's just that we're so small And feathers made of gold Strong like wings of silver To cover all our helpless souls To carry heavy hearts To cover all of us At least tonight Sometimes we have to hide For shelter from this bitter winter Under wings of gold and silver Under wings of gold and silver Sometimes we have to hide At least tonight At least tonight For shelter from this bitter winter Stay a while Stay a while Stay a while
