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   winter, at least tonight
