[Intro]
[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]

[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]

[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]
