Arlo Songtext
von Kasey Chambers

Arlo, your heart may skip like a stone
Time is a vulture
And my how you′ve grown
Arlo, I could've done
Better, I suppose
You drink from the tap
And you sleep in your clothes

Where is the monster
That lived under your bed?
You packed him in a box
And you erased him from your head
Sometimes I see a little boy
When you fall asleep
But I think we might have lost him
In a game of hide and seek


And I wish you the best
I go east you go west
But you′re always on my mind
And I'm blessed and I'm proud
I go north you go south
But I know you′ll do just fine
In your own good time

Remember when the bird was hurt
Down by the willow tree?
You held him in your shirt
Until you had to set him free
And I would watch you
Make believe while everyone was bored
But cowboys and Indians
Don′t come here anymore

And I wish you the best
I go east you go west
But you're always on my mind
And I′m blessed and I'm proud
I go north you go south
But I know you′ll do just fine
In your own good time


Arlo I carried you
Right from the start
I wish you happy birthday
And a place in my heart
And life is a hard way
Running from the heart
But if I had it my way
I'd keep you in my arms
