Gold And Silver

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 what you deserve
It’s not for lack of care
Inside of me is screaming out
And 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
Under wings of gold and silver
Sometimes we have to hide
For shelter from this bitter winter
At least tonight
At least tonight
Stay a while
Stay a while
Stay a while
