Down in the heartland where we walked alone
The river your mirror the mountain my throne
Planted a seed and my seed it did grow
And days are like arrows through hearts overgrown
Fly like an arrow
Glide through the pouring rain
Move like a shadow
Your light describes my way
Mary lights a fire with a bible
Takes me down to the river
I wonder if I am ready
I ain't never been ready
Flying straight like an arrow
Time it told me to follow
You never know when it's coming
When it's coming for you
Go sister go if you'll catch it you'll know
I dreamt of a starling with wings made of stone
And days are like arrows to hearts overgrown
Mary lights a fire with a bible
Takes me down to the river
I wonder if I am ready
I ain't never been ready
Flying straight like an arrow
Time it told me to follow
You never know when it's coming
You never know when it's going
You never know when it's coming
When it's coming for you
