Texty: Stavesacre. Live From Deep Ellum. 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 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
