"Arrow"



I wish I could fall in love

Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.

Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

In love, in love.



I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,

And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

In endless skies.



Oh, I remember you in the TV light

Holding you close to me where we lay,

And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.



It was only last night in the winter dark

I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence,

And I've never known a softer warmer feeling since

Or a truer heart.



But maybe these dreams are leading me;

Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory;

Maybe time and wishful (?) them their fantasies

Or the greatest heart.



Oh, but I remember you in the TV light

Holding you close to me where we lay,

And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.



Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,

And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

In endless skies.



Oh, I wish I could fall in love

Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.

Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

In love
