The hollow metal arrow
Fell to the water
It must have come down from the past
I gave it to you
And I watched as my sandcastle
Was slowly turned into gold

The little black beacon
The shine was so strong
That it took me awhile to adjust
It took up my house
It split me apart
So I found a place on the grass

Fire away, I'm still here in phantom wings
Fire away, I still have my better days
Fire away, what more can I do but say
Fire away, fire away

A shallow river by the road
Soothe the tensions and turn them to skipping stone
And me by the shore
I noticed that day made me older than I was before
You say I'm too sad, well I happen to like it
I happen to like you too

Fire away, I'm still here in phantom wings
Fire away, I still have my better days
Fire away, what more can I do but say
Fire away, fire away

Fire away, i know all your tricks and foul play
It won't work on me anymore
Fire away, what more can I do but say
Fire away, fire away
