The Arrow Flies Close
Andrew Rieger
It seems like I'm in danger
Distracted by all that I see
And even the nodding strangers
Can tell what is happening to me
Well, the boats we ride
Have been leaking lately
And the tunnel of frozen time
Has been increasing greatly
There's a knot in my throat
And the arrow flies close
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
Close the windows, stop the yawning
As the world grows weary of me
I cast off this sense of belonging
And slip into memory
Then to my friends, I'll be gone
And they'll gather and put me away
I hope Jeff will sing me a song
And everyone else will play
There's a knot in my throat
And the arrow flies close
Closer all the time
Closer all the time
