lyrics

Spent my life
Looking for a missing piece
Desperate for some release
I heard a call
From deep inside
I was lonely I was tired
I was empty uninspired
I hit a wall
Something held me
Showed me to myself

Spent last night
Lookin’ for you in my bed
But you left before I said that you could go
Scream and shout
“til I’m pity partied out
Looking more like I’m about to be alone
Something changed me
Saved me from myself

It’s the arrow in the bow
The sparrow and the song
The marrow in the bone
Nothing’s unforgivable
When you let go
Sparrow

Spent my money on a guitar and a pen
And a book to write it in
So I could find
All along I was just missing a song
I had everything I needed all this time
Somehow I am
Finally myself

It’s the arrow in the bow
The sparrow and the song
The marrow in the bone
Nothing’s unforgivable
When you let go
Sparrow
Sparrow

When the bow breaks
Way up high
You can fall or you can fly
Trust the wind
Trust the wind and open sky

It’s the arrow in the bow….

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
