"The Archer" lyrics - JESSE MALIN

JESSE MALIN
"The Archer"

Over the cuckoo's nest, sometimes a great notion
I've seen the best moving round in a locomotion
My my, she's so pretty, the only girl from New York city

She's the catalyst, one girl I never got over
Stupid Cupid missed, six shots and I fell like a soldier
Jesus couldn't save us, photographs and how they frame us

It was a long time ago when I let that arrow go
Baby unconditional, in your body on your soul
Hate and no remorse I'd gladly give up my kingdom
Baby for a horse and ride away from here oblivion
Always been a mystery, I often wonder if you miss me

It was a long time ago when I let that arrow go
Baby unconditional, in your body on your soul
About a hundred dreams ago, in a business they called so
Why do you can be for the leaving I've been gone on under your knees
The kids are asking please to forget her

Something you can trust, my own faithful companion
Like the two of us the universe is surely expanding

It was a long time ago when I let that arrow go
Baby unconditional, in your body on your soul
About a hundred dreams ago, in a business they called so
She's the only one who knows that I left there long ago
