Slings and Arrows/Lyric Monika Wall 2016
Candles on a birthday cake
Snuffed with child’s breath
Victory when your bike stays straight Every headstone tells a story
Every morning has its glory
But the evening will descend
The first kiss, the first touch Dilated pupils, racing pulse
The snap, of a broken heart
Oh the strings tug of war
Sorry’s mumbled, keeping score Tangle of the words in your head
Oh, say hello
Oh, its a short road Oh, don’t you know Oh, a short road
Rounded shoulders, slower pace As it winds down that old rat race And the feeling
What did it mean
All the slings and arrows,
And in the end where will we all go
Oh, say hello
Oh, its a short road Oh, don’t you know Oh, a short road
There’s a breath I feel inside me Stirs a pulse and it grows strong Every day I wake in the morning And give time to an end
