lyrics

I drew an arrow from my quiver
With tip of steel and feathers light
My sole intent to send a message
Never meant that we should fight

And as I pulled the bow towards me
I held it firmly as I drew
Then let it fly with self-assurance
Had no doubt my aim was true

But when it found the distant target
It fell on ground, I didn’t know
It found a heart that was still healing
Found a wound where blood still flowed

And so I tried to send another
With words as plain as plain could be
I wrapped it up inside a bottle
And then I threw it out to sea

And so it found the distant shoreline
You saw it there but as you knelt
To pick it up the glass did shatter
Drawing blood where none was meant

If I could feel those poison arrows
Flying straight into my heart
Then I might aim a little higher
Where the arrows, can do no harm

Kinfolk Louth, UK

Pete, Charlotte and Harriet formed the band a few years but, as most bands do, we went our separate ways in the end, all very amicable I'm glad to say!
