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
