"Arrow" lyrics

"Arrow"

I wish I could fall in love
Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does
Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was
In love, in love

I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise
And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes
And give myself as truly as an arrow flies
In windless skies

Oh, I remember you in the TV light
Holding you close to me where we lay
And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights
Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me

It was only last night in the winter dark
I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence
And I've never known a softer warmer feeling since
Or a truer heart

But maybe these dreams are leading me;
Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory;
Maybe time and wishful half-remembered fantasies
Or the greatest heart

Oh, but I remember you in the TV light
Holding you close to me where we lay
And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights
Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me

I Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise
And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes
And give myself as truly as an arrow flies
In windless skies

Oh, I wish I could fall in love
Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does
Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was
In love
