Arrow

a hollow metal arrow
 fell to the water
 it must have come down from the past
 I gave it to you
 and I watched as my sandcastle
 slowly was turned into glass
 it lit up like a beacon
 the shine was so strong
 that it took me awhile to adjust
 it took up my house
 it split me apart
 so I found a place on the grass
 fire away, I'm still hearing phantom waves
 fire away, I still have my better days
 fire away, what more can I do but say
 fire away, fire away
 a shallow river by the road
 smoothed its edges
 and turned into a skipping stone
 and me by the shore
 I noticed that day
 made me older than I was before
 you say I'm too sad
 well I happen to like it
 I happen to like you to
 fire away, I'm still here in phantom waves
 fire away, I still have my better days
 fire away, what more can I do but say
 fire away, fire away
 fire away, I know all your tricks and your
 foul play won't work on me anymore
 fire away, what more can I do but say
 fire away, fire away
