PJ Harvey - Bows & Arrows lyrics
[PJ Harvey - Bows & Arrows lyrics]
I saw your face whiter than purity
Then I saw savages standing before me
Bows and arrows tipped with poison
Make tenderness please, stand by my pillow
I see evil every time I dream
I see Earth's poison i hear violence sing
Even your touch once so pure
Becomes fates cold hand on my locked door
Won't you send those angels to watch over me?
I can't catch the bow
That this planet has thrown
I can't catch this bow on my own
In come the arrows like a needle
You pierce my heart and I taste poison
You pierce my soul with bows and arrows
Won't you send those angels to watch over me?
Then I saw savages standing before me
Bows and arrows tipped with poison
Make tenderness please, stand by my pillow
I see evil every time I dream
I see Earth's poison i hear violence sing
Even your touch once so pure
Becomes fates cold hand on my locked door
Won't you send those angels to watch over me?
I can't catch the bow
That this planet has thrown
I can't catch this bow on my own
In come the arrows like a needle
You pierce my heart and I taste poison
You pierce my soul with bows and arrows
Won't you send those angels to watch over me?
