Down in the heartland where we walked alone The river your mirror the mountain my throne Planted a seed and my seed it did grow And days are like arrows through hearts overgrown Fly like an arrow Glide through the pouring rain Move like a shadow Your light describes my way Mary lights a fire with a bible Takes me down to the river I wonder if I am ready I ain't never been ready Flying straight like an arrow Time it told me to follow You never know when it's coming When it's coming for you Go sister go if you'll catch it you'll know I dreamt of a starling with wings made of stone And days are like arrows to hearts overgrown Mary lights a fire with a bible Takes me down to the river I wonder if I am ready I ain't never been ready Flying straight like an arrow Time it told me to follow You never know when it's coming You never know when it's going You never know when it's coming When it's coming for you
