lyrics

Arrow thinks life's a joke
I met her smiling the day I awoke
And she sang me away into dreamland
The last time she spoke

Arrow tends the garden
The garden where I raise my hopes
Nurturing and fondling
Securing them with ropes

Arrow never really laughs but she never complains
She wanders around kissing flowers out in the pouring rain
She feels me way down in the bottom of her soul
She lives only to be near me but prefers to be alone

Arrow was not broken
After she finally surrendered
But in certain proper places
She was a lot more tender

Arrow and I live in the basement
Where there's nowhere to go but up
And the children come around and put flowers in her hair
And she lovingly leads them in prayer

Arrow never really laughs but she never complains
She wanders around kissing flowers out in the pouring rain
She feels me way down in the bottom of her soul
She lives only to be near me but prefers to be alone

Arrow thinks life's a joke
I met her smiling the day I awoke
