"Poison Arrow" lyrics - ALLISON RUSSELL

Poison arrow be kind to me and I'll be kind to you
It's not just your poison, it's the bow, the string
Shaft and feather too
The rush of the wind
The blue sky above
The rain that soaked the ground
To give the oleander love

Go in peace be not afraid
Roll em easy, Namaste
All you sad and broken travelers, come on

Poison arrow broke in my chest
But I'm In my finery
At Le Divan on Boulevard St. Laurent
Sipping dry sherry
The sun is bleeding slow
She dies in pink and blue
Etta's on the radio
Singing trust in me in all you do

Go in peace be not afraid
Roll em easy namaste
All you sad and broken travelers, come on

Je te souhaite la paix
Je te souhaite l'acceptance
Je te souhaite une deuxieme chance
Et le coeur, le coeur d'un enfant
Routier Routier
Chanter! Chanter!
L'heure des miracles est arrivee
Le poison peut-etre medecin
Si t'on bois une goute seulement

[Translation: (I wish for you peace/ I wish for you acceptance / I wish for you a second chance
And the heart, the heart of a child/ Traveler! Traveler! /Sing! Sing! /The hour of miracles has arrived /Poison can be medicine too if you only drink a drop)]

Go in peace be not afraid
Roll em easy, Namaste
All you sad and broken travelers, come on
