Broken Arrow
Robbie Robertson Lyrics

Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is going to give you something that's already broken, something that's no longer of use to them?

Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
Who else is going to give you something that's impossible to obtain, something that's rare and precious?

There he goes moving across the water
He's leaving now, and crossing a large body of water to be far away from me.

There he goes turning my whole world around
Just like that, he's changing everything in my life and turning my world upside down.

Do you feel what I feel
Are you experiencing the same emotions as me?

Can we make that so it's part of the deal
Can we make a mutual agreement to explore our feelings further?

I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
I need to physically hold onto you, and not let go.

Lay your heart on the line this time
Be open and honest with me about your feelings and intentions, don't hold back anything.

I want to breathe when you breathe
I want to be so close to you that I can synchronize my breath with yours.

When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
When you speak to me in that soft, warm tone that's comforting and familiar like a summer breeze.

Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Notice the physical reaction that I have to your presence, I'm feeling nervous and sweating.

Didn't you show me a sign this time
Didn't you give me some sort of indication that you feel the same way?

Can you see what I see
Do you understand my perspective and point of view?

Can you cut behind the mystery
Can you get to the root of the issue and figure out what's really going on?

I will meet you by the witness tree
I will meet you at the designated location, where we can speak openly and candidly with each other.

Leave the whole world behind
Forget about everything else going on, and solely focus on each other and our connection.

I want to come when you call
I want to be there for you whenever you need me, and respond to your beck and call.

I'll get to you if I have to crawl
I'll do whatever it takes and go any lengths to reach you and be with you.

They can't hold me with these iron walls
Nothing can stop me from being with you and breaking down the barriers between us.

We've got mountains to climb
Our journey isn't easy, but we're ready and willing to overcome any obstacles in our way.

Turning my whole world around
His presence has completely shaken up my life and everything I knew before him seems different now.

Turning my whole world around
His influence in my life is so strong that it's changing everything about me, even my perspective and outlook.

Turning my whole world around
His presence is so powerful that it's making me see things in a new light and driving me towards change.

Turning my whole world around
He's completely changing my life, and I'm not sure yet whether it's for the better or the worse.
