Anyone know the song & singer of this one?

The opening words are "Wish I could fly" and it includes lines such as "and give my love as truly as an arrow flies"

No, it's not the Roxette song

Singer sounds like Tracy Chapman to me

    Arrow - By Cheryl Wheeler

    I wish I could fall in love

    Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does

    Still I'd fool myself and gladly, just to feel I was

    In love, in love

    I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

    And gaze into some gentle, warm excited eyes

    And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

    In windless skies

    (Chorus)

    Oh I remember you in the tv light

    Holding you close to me where we lay

    And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

    Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me

    Only last night in the winter dark

    I dreamed of how you loved, in all your innocence

    And I've never known a softer warmer feeling since, or a truer heart

    Maybe these dreams are leading me

    Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory

    Maybe time and wishful half-remembered fantasy are the greatest part

    (Chorus)

    Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

    And gaze into some gentle, warm excited eyes

    And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

    In windless skies

    I wish I could fall in love

    Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does

    Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was, in love

    "Arrow"

    I wish I could fall in love

    Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.

    Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

    In love, in love.

    I wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

    And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,

    And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

    In endless skies.

    Oh, I remember you in the TV light

    Holding you close to me where we lay,

    And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

    Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.

    It was only last night in the winter dark

    I dreamed of how you loved in all your innocence,

    And I've never known a softer warmer feeling since

    Or a truer heart.

    But maybe these dreams are leading me;

    Maybe love is not as gentle as my memory;

    Maybe time and wishful (?) them their fantasies

    Or the greatest heart.

    Oh, but I remember you in the TV light

    Holding you close to me where we lay,

    And now I wish I knew some of those softer nights

    Whispering quietly, feeling you turn to me.

    Wish I could feel my heartbeat rise

    And gaze into some gentle warm excited eyes,

    And give myself as truly as an arrow flies

    In endless skies.

    Oh, I wish I could fall in love

    Though it only leads to trouble, oh I know it does.

    Still I'd fool myself and gladly just to feel I was

    In love
