Lyrics

Intro

Oh, let the spirit move
Let the organ swell
Lord, help me find my way
Through this quiet hell

Verse

The hallway feels too wide
The shadows start to creep
I'm listening for your step
While the rest of the world's asleep
But there’s only silence now
In the corner of the room

Pre-Chorus

I see your bowl on the floor
I see your toy by the door
The house is a hollow shell
Since you rang the final bell

Chorus

Oh, I'm walking with a heavy heart
Since we had to drift apart
You're running in the fields of gold
While I am left here in the cold
Yes, I'm walking with a heavy heart

Verse

I still reach down to pet your head
When I'm sitting by my bed
I forget for a single beat
That your journey is complete
The sun comes up so bright
But it doesn't feel quite right

Pre-Chorus

I see your bowl on the floor
I see your toy by the door
The house is a hollow shell
Since you rang the final bell

Chorus

Oh, I'm walking with a heavy heart
Since we had to drift apart
You're running in the fields of gold
While I am left here in the cold
Yes, I'm walking with a heavy heart

Bridge

Wait for me by the pearly gate
I know you're there, I know you'll wait
No more pain and no more fear
Just the sound of heaven near
Bring my faithful friend back home

Chorus

Oh, I'm walking with a heavy heart
Since we had to drift apart
You're running in the fields of gold
While I am left here in the cold
Yes, I'm walking with a heavy heart

Outro

Running in the gold
Running free, my friend
Until I see you again
Amen, amen, amen
