Lyrics

Bows & Arrows

From B-Sides, Demos & Rarities2022

Written by PJ Harvey

Produced by PJ Harvey

Lyrics

Bows & Arrows

I saw your face Whiter than purity Then I saw savages Standing before me Bows and arrows Tipped with poison Make tenderness please Stand by my pillow I see evil Everytime I dream I see earth's poison I hear violence sing Even your touch Once so pure Comes fates cold hand On my locked door Won't you send those angels to watch over me? I can't catch the bow That this planet has thrown I can't catch this bow On my own In come the arrows Like a needle You pierce my heart And I taste poison You pierce my soul With bows and arrows Won't you send those angels to watch over me?
