The Loosened Arrow Lyrics

Are you coming or are you going?
What do you mean to do?
Are your new ways for always?
Or just to see you through?
Like to know what's on your mind
Like to understand your kind
I'm only a little lonely
and a little afraid of you

If you asked would I know where the loosened arrow go
to dry out their tears?
The smile of a stranger
the pain of your neighbour
their journey is the same as mine
all this in a glass of time
(a little afraid, a little afraid, and a little afraid of you
a little afraid, a little afraid, and a little afraid of you)
Are you going or are you staying?
What do you mean to do?
Are your old ways for always?
Oh, just to see through you

I'll go hurting and healing
undone, laughing and crying
calling down the sun
In the yellow dawning run
If you asked would I know where the loosened arrow go
to dry out their tears?
I am a rock
I am a boulder with no stream running over
I am a dry, dry leaf in this heat
Quicksand is at my feet
(a little afraid, a little afraid, and a little afraid of you
a little afraid, a little afraid, and a little afraid of you)

Like to know what's on your mind
Like to understand your kind
I'm only a little lonely and a little afraid of you
I'm only a little lonely and a little afraid of you
