Lyrics

[Verse 1] It bent down on the street to pet a dog A stray that might remember once it had somewhere to sleep It bent down on one knee and looked into the eyes of love Then it went back home Left the dog alone [Chorus] God if it could help a stray You know it sometimes would But it can just look down from far away [Verse 2] It went out with a girl no one knows It heard the common dreams that lonely people often hold It lay between two sheets that weren't its own and felt so down Then it went back home Lay back down alone [Chorus] God if it could help her Then you know it sometimes would But it can just look down from far away [Bridge] Why would a perfect eye Have need of wings? What more is there to see? Nothing has surprise [Chorus] God if it could help itself You know it sometimes would But it could just look down from far away
