Cupid's Arrow Lyrics - Amy Lavere

I found a bow, and a little wooden arrow 

In a store that was full of nothing that I was there for 

I bought it for a song I had saved up in a pocket 

And I tucked it in my coat, like a sniper with a rocket 

I walked around the cold, cold town, just a maiden on a mission 

Consumed with ideas of revenge and redemption 

But you've got to learn to shoot first 

If you're aiming to kill 

I practiced on a target in a park with empty benches 

And the little wooden arrow closed on in each time by inches 

Then one day the little arrow found the mark of his endeavor 

And the crazy-eyed old bull, he was blinded forever 

I set out on a hunt, with my arrow and my bow 

Til in my sights had fallen one who hurt me long ago 

But then I knew I never could have killed him all along 

So I returned the bow and arrow and the store gave back this song
