I have walked these city streets alone
I found no comfort out here on my own
My feet get tired and my knees get weak
There's no one left to carry me
When there's no way in
And no way out
You'll hear me say

Keep my head on my pillow
When the walls all fall down
Save my tears for tomorrow
And keep my feet on the ground
Keep my hands off the wheel
When it's out of my control
And keep my eye on that sparrow
'Cause he knows the way home

The words you speak fall right off your tongue
They break my bones and the future comes undone
Between where you go and where I stand
Blows a hot angry wind
And I'm fading fast
'Cause I know we won't pass
This way Again

Keep my head on my pillow
When the walls all fall down
Save my tears for tomorrow
And keep my feet on the ground
Keep my hands off the wheel
When it's out of my control
And keep my eye on that sparrow
'Cause he knows the way home

Well maybe I'm weak
Maybe I think too much
But I know God and His angels
Are watching over us.

Keep my head on my pillow
When the walls all fall down
Save my tears for tomorrow
And keep my feet on the ground
Keep my hands off the wheel
When it's out of my control
And keep my eye on that sparrow
'Cause he knows the way home
