Lyrics

When the arrow pierces you
The arrow pierces me
I will stand behind you
Like Saint Sebastian’s tree

It’s like an ancient planet wandering,
A long unbroken vow.
I will stand behind you,
At least for now.

The river rolls around your foot
And flows out to the sea.
The sun’s a little thing,
Laying at your knee.

Chorus

You lie down on the floor
I lean against the wall
A black pool opens up
You begin to fall
I look across the alley
And put my hand upon your head
Awake you touch the sleep
Asleep you touch the dead.

Chorus
