Lyrics

If you say that I'm an arrow
Pointing to the town at dawn
Waiting for the mountains to protect us
From the sandstorms and the pawns

If you leave me here, on my own
I will take you to the deep paisley underground

You moved out amidst the crumbling of an empire
On the old silk road where blue and red and green and gold were
Weaving patterns on the women and the soldiers
And the artists and the secret signs across the ocean

If you leave me here, on my own
I will take you to the deep paisley underground

Now the decades have unfolded
From the West Coast to the East
Shifting continents and magnetic hemispheres and
Chiming guitars and the weaving of seas

If you leave me here, on my own
I will take you to the deep paisley underground
