Arrow

Down in the heartland where we walked alone

The river your mirror the mountain my throne

Planted a seed and my seed it did grow

Now days are like arrows through hearts overgrown



Fly like an arrow

Glide through the pouring rain

Move like a shadow

Your light describes my way



Mary lights a fire with the bible

Takes me down to the river

I wonder if I am ready

I ain't never been ready

Flying straight like an arrow

Time it told me to follow

You never know when it's coming

When it's coming for you



Go sister go if you'll catch it you'll know

I dreamt of a starling with wings made of stone

Your days are like arrows through hearts overgrown



Mary lights a fire with the bible

Takes me down to the river

I wonder if I am ready

I ain't never been ready

Flying straight like an arrow

Time it told me to follow

You never know when it's coming

You never know when it's going

You never know when it's coming

When it's coming for you
