    Story Behind the Song
    this song was one of the last sessions that i did at the Magic Lab studios in langley british columbia in the late spring of '02 just as the studio was winding down. god rest the lab.
    it was originally a piece about my country home where i grew up as a kid but the music led me to something else. although just as personal. i guess we worked on the song for maybe 3 hours and this is the result. not really mixed, pretty much the way it went down.
    thanks to mr bill nelson for teaching me about arrows...

    Lyrics
    Little boy blue and the man in the moon
    Must be so proud of u
    It doesnt seem long since I sat in your room
    And wished dreams that have now come true

    It surely couldnt have been me that set u so straight
    Cuz darlin my lifes been a chase
    I guess youve been learning as Ive been fumblin along
    Im so touched by your innocent face

    I can still hear the chime of a timeless nursery rhyme
    Must be we were borne the same day
    But I never bore witness tho Ive been blessed with a glimpse
    Of someone that knows her own way

    Love is swift arrows but I need more than words
    My heart is a temple for u
    What did I even do to deserve
    Someone so warm and true
    There must have been some kind of angel
    Beside u when u were alone
    Love is swift arrows and I would shoot one to heaven
    If I could hold u when the cold wind blows

    The things we become come easier to some
    Youve never strayed far from the truth
    If I missed the insight when I knew u were right
    Why not just chalk it all up to my youth

    Cuz I am the child the prodigal sinner
    But through it all u were always in my prayers
    And look at u now u are more than a winner
    And the promise of your sweet lifes everywhere

    Dont be afraid of the dreams that lay close to your heart
    They are yours so go dream them

    Once u are grown and u start building a home
    Please hold to the ways of your heart
    U have the secret to life and the sky is the limit
    So make a wish on the first falling star

    Little boy blue and the man in the moon
    Aint got nothin on u
    It doesnt seem long since I sat in your room
    And wished dreams that have now come true

    Love is swift arrows but I need more than words
    My heart is a temple for u
    What did I ever do to deserve
    Someone so warm and true
    There must have been some kind of angel
    Beside u when u were alone
    Love is swift arrows and I would shoot one to the heavens
    I will hold u when the cold wind blows
