smallest wingless

feel like crying? yes? then listen to this.

it's probably the most beautiful song i've ever heard. craig cardiff, the singer/songwriter gives an intro to it at the beginning. he was inspired by the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation and decided to write this song.

so close to home.

Smallest Wingless by Craig Cardiff

Dear son, we've been waiting for you
Thrilled beside ourselves that you've arrived
White coats came in, heads held low
Talked for a bit, shuffled outside

We closed the curtains,
Held each other,
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.

And smallest wingless, oh you came to us
Leaving as soon as you'd arrived
But sadness is just love wasted
With no little heart to place it inside

We closed the curtains,
Held each other,
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.

We closed the curtains
Held on to one another
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.
