Lyrics to Crossbow

A lot of things were born and died
In that time
There’s ten whitetail deer
coming up the drive
and mothers are just daughters
buried by time

There’s a crossbow on the wall
Scared me since I was small

Cicadas do their rattle dance
All night long
Memories closing ‘round my neck
Slow but strong
And lightning strikes the hour glass
I’m holding on

[CHORUS]
There’s a crossbow on the wall
Scared me since I was small
And you don’t know shit about it
You don’t know shit about it

Aviary echoes a solemn song
Finches, wrens and turtle doves all have gone
Now just sits a golden cage
Covered by dust

[CHORUS]
