The Arrow Flies Close

It seems like I'm in danger

Distracted by all that I see

And even the nodding strangers

Can tell what is happening to meWell, the boats we ride

Have been leaking lately

And the tunnel of frozen time

Has been increasing greatlyThere's a knot in my throat

And the arrow flies close

Closer all the time

Closer all the timeClose the windows, stop the yawning

As the world grows weary of me

I cast off this sense of belonging

And slip into memoryThen 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 playThere's a knot in my throat

And the arrow flies close

Closer all the time

Closer all the time
