The 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

Was slowly turned into gold



The little black 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 here in phantom wings

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

Soothe the tensions and turn them to 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 too



Fire away, I'm still here in phantom wings

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 foul play

It won't work on me anymore

Fire away, what more can I do but say

Fire away, fire away
