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
