Wind Archer Cookie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Alice in the yard With dust on her shoes Pocket full of paper stars And a name she won’t lose She looks at the fence Like it told her a plan Then laughs at the wind And takes my hand [Pre-Chorus] Spin that little prayer Let the day unwind She’s got moonbeam eyes And a straight-line mind [Chorus] o Alice you go on To wind Archer cookie o Alice you go on Through the thorn and the rain o Alice you go on That’s the way you took me o Alice you go on And I call your name [Verse 2] She keeps a blue thread Tied around her wrist Says every hard road Has a twist like this She jumps the creek bed Never checks the drop If the sky says wait She tells it, stop [Pre-Chorus] Spin that little prayer Let the day unwind She’s got moonbeam eyes And a straight-line mind [Chorus] o Alice you go on To wind Archer cookie o Alice you go on Through the thorn and the rain o Alice you go on That’s the way you took me o Alice you go on And I call your name [Bridge] Now the porch light hums And the moths lean in Alice is a spark That won’t fit in If the road gets long If the house feels small She lifts her chin And outwalks it all [Final Chorus] o Alice you go on To wind Archer cookie o Alice you go on Through the thorn and the rain o Alice you go on That’s the way you took me o Alice you go on And I call your name
