Tiny Arrows Lyrics by The Jayhawks

Mockingbird Time

2011

[Verse 1]
Wandered through the desert
Looking for my way
Under rocks and houses
Snakes burn in the day
Coyotes howling
In the mountains far away

[Verse 2]
Dusty winters
Leave what's left behind
There are no reasons
To find what I call mine
Fences mean nothing
The sunrise disappears

[Chorus]
Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky
And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where?
Where did it go?

[Verse 3]
The wind is whistling
Coats are buttoned high
Funny people
With nowhere left to hid
The canyon caravan
Rolls along

[Chorus]
Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky
And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where?
Where did it go?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Didn't know those
Tiny arrows
Made of metal
Pierced the heart
Didn't know those
Tiny arrows
Made of metal
Pierced the heart
I didn't know those
Tiny arrows
Made of metal
Pierced the heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky
And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where?
Where did it go?
Where?
Where did it go?
