We were married in a church called “Our Lady of Sorrow”
It took me 12 years to break free
When our dear Dottie Ann lay limp in my hands
On the boulevard down in Revere
I had nothing to stay for, no life to care for
I finally had nothing to fear
Chorus:
I don’t know where these tears are flowing
I don’t know where these prayers are going
If there’s a heaven above me with angels in white
Send me a sliver of light
I took the new car, I drove through the darkness
Drove all the way to the sea
Had one thing worth holding, but it slipped through my arms
Now I found myself down on my knees
Every morning I walk to “Our Lady of Sorrow”
I light a candle and kneel
Then I unfold my hands the same hand that held her
I’ll never forget how that feels
Sliver of Light, thimble of hope
Through the long cold night at the end of the rope
If there’s a heaven above me with angels in white
Send me a sliver of light
Send me a sliver of light
