Love's Dart

You ride out into the strongest sun and you know

Gonna leave you for dead as the sun over head, you don't shun

Thirst comes on and the water's all you want

But there's gold in your eyes and it keeps you alive to move on

Love's dart, no longer sharp

The end is in sight but your aim takes you out of the mark

Love's dart, broken apart

If you're walking in circles, you'll find yourself back at the start

The wind kicks up and the day, it grows so old

If you keep on going, you'll make it out of this dust bowl

You think of the one you knew that was so fair

You remember about the girl with the golden hair

Love's dart, no longer sharp

The end is in sight but your aim takes you out of the mark

Love's dart, broken apart

If you're walking in circles, you'll find yourself back at the start

In the near distance, you see a form

You recognise the face but you're feeling warm

Rub your eyes and see there's no one around

Lie down for a while and she'll stay with you till you move on

Love's dart, no longer sharp

The end is in sight but your aim takes you out of the mark

Love's dart, broken apart

If you're walking in circles, you'll find yourself back at the start
