BROKEN ARROW w&m: bill mallonee c. BMI 2018
It was your eyes that I first noticed
But, your name i didn't catch
You were wise beyond your years
Ah, but there's a price to pay for that
The world's full of weary voices
Begging you to just believe
The questions with no answers
tuggin' at your sleeve

I'll bring you a broken arrow
I'll bring you a vial of tears
Shield you from the cold, my love
And hold your heart so dear
But, there ain't no getting around
The mean-ness of these years

I met you in Durango
if my memory serves me right
I offered you a drink
You said: "Gin will do me nicely."
You were staying at the boarding house
till some things got re-arranged
You said it's only temporary, baby,
or until your luck does change

There was promise in those eyes
Some whiskey on my breath
We spoke long about our past
and the moonlight did the rest
No one can pick the time or place
where miracles occur
One kiss and all my chains fell off
and I gave you my good word

I'll bring you a broken arrow
I will bring you a vial of tears
I will shield you from the cold
And hold your heart so dear
But, there ain't no getting around
The mean-ness of these years, (x3)
