lyrics

THE ARROW

one little song
get you out of that unfinished thought
you're trailin' off

one little song
get you out of that unfinished thought
you're trailin' off

come over here

we'll find that river again
it'll rise
i could tell you all about it...
i could tell you all about it...

or we could just get in
get in
get in

see an old sign
an old industrial sign on the skyline
a stretch of busy highway
hands out the window

they're not the only hands
to search the dark for a shape that's familiar
last service for miles
now you are gone discovering the fire

and that jealous sun will burn
just as sure as the shivering
will keep you warm

i know we all come wired
to a world where sabertooth tigers flee or fight
we've got more than that choice tonight

we let it all go
the heart is a sail, a rudder and a bow
and the arrow
and the arrow

we're livin' like so
the heart is a sail a rudder and a bow
and the arrow
and the arrow

one little song
to get you out of that unfinished thought
you're trailin' off

Natalie Tate Denver, Colorado

Drawing comparisons to artists Feist, Cat Power and Lykke Li, Tate's voice has a way of bringing us back to the forgotten spaces inside ourselves. Tate was voted Best Singer-Songwriter in the 2016 + 2017 Westword Music Awards and recently made her debut at Red Rocks. ... more
