lyrics

She never felt the rain
She never knew the sun until the day she met me
And we were newborn unto love
The uncertainties of this life we had in front of us

And I was naive and afraid
To hold this fragile thing, a baby bird in the palm of my hand
For fear she'd one day fly away
And the wind would carry her far from where she's meant to fall

I close my eyes and worry never more
For she'll be beside me on the hollow floor
We'll realize we're safe after all

This is a trustfall

She never felt the pain
When all was said and done the day she up and left me
And I saw her fly for days
Growing smaller all the way, until she was just a blue sky

And I am naive and afraid
To live my life alone and know she's never coming home
And here I sit and count the days
For how long it may take for me to find another one
