BRONZE
INTRO
Don’t quite know
Where we will go
Oh oh oh (2x)
V1
Old dust roads
Dust is swirling round our weary souls
Burning breeze
Bronze the only color that we see
Days gone by
On and on and by and by and by
We will tread
We will tread until we’re dead
CH
Don’t quite know
Where we will go
Oh oh oh (2x)
V2
Dawn dark still
Waiting for the light to rise and spill
High noon now
We are far from where we started out
Bruised by time
Throwing us an empty empty line
Could you please
Could you plea for me to bleed
CH
Don’t quite know
Where we will go
Oh oh oh (3x)
V3
We we we proceed
Wistfully into the evening
Lay lay lay me down
Down onto my bed upon the ground
CH
Don’t quite know
Where we will go
Oh oh oh (4x)

GEMS AND BONES
V1
I try to say goodbye
This morning good morning
When I find myself inside
You’re living there so fierce and fair
V2
And I try to say goodnight
Tomorrow, oh sorrow
When I climb limbs of mine
You’re seated there my breast is bare
CH
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I will not stay afraid
V3
My eyes scan the sky
A crow appears black and light
As she sows gems and bones
Sticks and seeds, the pretty things
CH
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I will not stay afraid
B
Da da da, da da da da da da
CH
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I cannot stay away
And I will not stay afraid

HOLD YOU TONIGHT
V1
Should I forget you oh
Do I need to let you go
Holding onto you in my mind
Every shadow hides your face
You're the one I can't replace
Oh I know because I have tried
V2
I hear you call my name
Voices go from where they came
I can feel the echo inside
If only to pretend
I imagine once again
We collapse and then we collide
CH
Is everybody wrong
Is everybody right
Does it really matter tonight
‘Cause everybody longs
And everybody cries
I just want to hold you tonight (2x)
B
Tonight
Oh I just want to hold you tonight (4x)
V3
I see you in my dreams
Monochrome and memory
Everything a moment in time
Can we shine within the dark
If i touch you will you spark
Burning up again we ignite
CH
Is everybody wrong
Is everybody right
Does it really matter tonight
‘Cause everybody longs
And everybody cries
I just want to hold you tonight (3x)
B
Tonight tonight
Oh I just want to hold you tonight (2x)
CH
Is everybody wrong
Is everybody right
Does it really matter tonight
‘Cause everybody longs
And everybody cries
I just want to hold you tonight
Tonight

LONG LOST CENTURY
V1
On a moonless night in a burned out building
Your heavy cries were floating
Seems all your life has needed mending
So you cut the ties to the old things
Oh whoa whoa
V2
Oh golden light of a daydream dawning
Now held so tight by the story
Of a carriage ride in a long lost century
Through a countryside in the morning
Oh whoa whoa
CH
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)
I'll take you out of here
V3
A man in white his gold watch turning
Was pressed for time you hurried
To drink his wine and follow blindly
But in your mind was folly
Oh whoa whoa
CH
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)
I'll take you out of here
B
Ooh ooh (4x)
V4
Your breath inside the window fogging
On the panes you write a warning
To the promised bride, her spotted ponies
And velvet shrine of endings
Oh whoa whoa
CH2
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)
You need no longer suffer fright
I’ll take you out of here tonight (2x)

BETTER THAN THE PAIN
V1
Never really meant to hurt you
Never really meant to break down
Even though I tried to reach out
From so far down
It was hard to feel the moment
Moments are all we have now
CH1
Was I mistaken to ever think that
You’d love me better than the pain did, the pain did
My heart is breaking
So come and take it from me now
V2
Never really thought I’d find you
Never really thought I’d be found
Even now we’re rushing, rushing out
From so far down
Finally we feel the moment
Moments are what we have now
CH2
We won’t be shaken I have a faith that
You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did
My heart awakens
So come and take it from me now
B
I always wanted to find you
I always wanted to be found
I knew that I would know you
I knew it somehow
Finally we have our moment
Moments are what we have now
CH3/CH4
We won’t be shaken I have a faith that
You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did
My heart awakens
So come and take it from me now
CH5
We won’t be shaken I have a faith that
You'll love me better than the pain did, the pain did
These hearts awaken
And now we start to hear the sound

LITTLE SPARKS
V1
Stain the hands spilling out the land
Mine the soul stooped and dropping low
Water rolls thin and gold
CH
Glimmer and a speck
Fleeting little fleck (2x)
Something in the heart
Eating little sparks (2x)
V2
Hands that sing hum and sting
Beckoning sacred scenes
All along sparse to speak
CH
Glimmer and a speck
Fleeting little fleck (2x)
Something in the heart
Eating little sparks (2x)
B
Something in the heart
Eating little sparks oh oh (4x)
Oh whoa oh oh oh (4x)

If we drift away
Who then will there remain
To forge and carve their names
With hands unknown by shame
CH
So fair and bright
So where am I (2x)
B
Do do do (4x)
V2
Let us not regret
With hearts misplaced ahead
The time that we had tread
We must begin again
CH
So fair and bright
So where am I (4x)

GOLDEN DAYS
V1
Your shoes were dusty gray and
Your suitcase out of place and
You stood to turn away
Walk through that rusty gate oh
Like you could hardly wait and
No thought to hesitate
CH
Hey hey hey hey (3x)
V2
Wheat fields begin to sway and
Slow tears fall from your face and
You board that heavy train
The clouds have parted ways and
Your eyes look up to say oh
Are these the golden days
CH
Hey hey hey hey (3x)
Hey hey hey hey (3x)

COUNTRYSIDE
V1
Soft in flight over the countryside
Where you and I, we can be
By and by these hearts inside
With time collide underneath
V2
Far and wide through the countryside
Where you and I slow to breathe
Bound and bright only our hearts decide
Whether we look behind or between
CH
So we’ll pack up our love
And we’ll leave nothing of it behind
‘Cause it’s you and it’s me
And we’re going to be alright
My love
B
Goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
V3
Stride by stride to the countryside
Where here we might fall beneath
By and by these hearts inside
With time collide underneath
CH
So we’ll pack up our love
And we’ll leave nothing of it behind
‘Cause it’s you and it’s me
And we’re going to be alright
My love
B (Round)
Fare, farewell (4x)
Goodbye (2x)
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you my dear (2x)
CH
So we’ll pack up our love
And we’ll leave nothing of it behind
‘Cause it’s you and it’s me
And we’re going to be alright
My love

Deconstructionism - Part 1

Year of the Cartographer
by Quiet Arrows
Cataloging lyrics and sounds like lines of latitude and longitude. Songs of sojourn. Songs of shipwreck. Songs of new continents edged by the tide of the human sea. (indie folk / singer-songwriter)

Continents Were Made To Sink
by Quiet Arrows

Just as brilliant as The Woodlands, the lyrics, symbolism and piercing gentleness of this music is highly resonating. The name Quiet Arrows is extremely apt because the impression it makes is swift and penetrating.

Claimed by the Sea EP

Ethereal, haunting seascapes of songs, delicate but never precious. Semi-acoustic with female voice, a fine debut.
