Lyrics

he said i want to grow up, and look like robert mitchum, and i hope that when i'm gone, there'll be some say that i miss him, he must have been romantic, he must have sensed adventure, and i feel the steel of his strong will, in the frame around his picture, and he's one more arrow flying through the air, one more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere, where the days and nights blend into one, and he can always feel the sun, through the soft brown earth that holds him, forever always young, he could have been a boxer, but the fight game seemed so dirty, we argued once he knocked me down, and he cried when he thought he'd hurt me, strictly from the old school, he was quiet about his pain, and if one in ten could be that brave, i would never hate again, one more arrow, one more arrow, one more arrow, forever always young
