Arrows Lyrics & Chords By Evening Hymns

How long must I stare into this window?
How long till I see the things I need?
Cause I've been looking now for days.
Hoping that I'd cross your gaze.
And see myself inside your weary eyes.
How long must I sing these songs of sorrow?
What's the trick to get the darkness out?
Cause I've been singing now for hours.
Hoping for some special powers.
Teach me all the things that I can do to bring you back.
I sing these hymns to call you in.
I shout these songs to let you go.
I use my voice to fill the space that I am in.
It's a space I do not know.
How deep can I dig into your past?
To hold on tight and hope that it will last.
You were drifting now you're gone.
You were weak and now you're strong.
Teach me all the words that I can say to bring you back.
Show me signs to let me know that I will be okay.
Salve for sadness, balm for this mess that I sift through everyday.
You are arrows tipped with pine, shot through chests and left behind.
On the forest floor where I will wait till you come home.
I sing these hymns to call you in.
I shout these songs to let you go.
I use my voice to fill the space that I am in.
It's a space I do not know.
