[Verse 1]

Oh, archer wit

h your bowstri

ng tight
          
Won't you let 

fly with your 

shaft of light
        
Are you huntin

g your quarry 

now?
        
Are you leavin

g me, babe, le

aving anyhow?
      
But I will rem

ember you when

 the rain pour

s down
      
And I see you 

standing there

 in your brigh

t blue gown
             
Fyodor's there

  
, still he doe

sn't care
       
You're gone

[Instrumental]
     x3

[Verse 2]

Tell me you do

n't want to tr

avel
   
To go back ami

dst the noise 

and babble
        
But you hear m

e when I tell 

you that
    
You know it wo

n't be so long

, babe You kno

w you're comin

g back
         
And I'll wait 

right here til

l the sky is c

lear
         
And I'll keep 

looking into t

hat endless sp

here
    
And then you'r

e gonna know
             
There really w

              
asn't nothing 

   
to fear

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

So don't cry, 

baby, in the d

ark of night W

hen you know I

 ain't there t

o hold you tig

ht

And I can't an

swer any of yo

ur questing gl

ances
             
Like when we w

oke up in the 

morning And we

 saw the dawn 

was storming
        
And the clouds

 were there lo

ve Outside the

 window so fai

r
        
And the sun ca

me rising, it 

was surprising

Cast out all y

our dark surmi

sing
             
And then the c

         
ar came, you s

poke my name
    
And left me

[Instrumental]
     x3

[Verse 4]

But I'm not al

one on this ea

rth so fair Th

ere's somethin

g else beside 

me here

Something keep

s me ever look

ing forward
         
And it's brigh

ter than the s

unlight And it

's purer than 

the moonlight
         
And it's drawi

ng me toward i

t Like a moth 

out of the nig

ht
      
And I know I'l

l arrive where

 there ain't n

o time
    
Non dimensiona

l plane of joy

 sublime
             
Keep on being 

      
free, Lord, it

's gotta be
  
Infinity, hey

[Outro]
