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
