The Subtle Way - The Archer And The Alibi lyrics

rate me

There is no margin of error here

Between the linen that lays inline with your eyelash

And for the first time I fear the warning

That the wind sounds in sync via silence

There is no margin of error here

Between the linen that lays inline with you

Release and stay on target

To find the error in “follow through”

There is hope between the knock and the strand

If I can mock the love in your… (practiced hand)

Your lips bring alive the tune of empty bowstrings

Laden with the love of such a practiced hand

Waiting with the hope to hear the arrows sing

Waiting with the hope that we’re coming back for more

Make a sound that’s worth its meaning

And make us proud if that’s what you live for

How those lips run oh so smooth and

How they’ve taken us nowhere

You could split these arrows all you want

With the pride of a marksman

And strike upon the narrows, but for what?

If they are not your target
