Broken Arrow
Buffalo Springfield The lights turned on and the curtain fell down, And when it was over it felt like a dream, They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream, The agents had paid for the black limousine That waited outside in the rain. Did you see them in the river? Could you tell that the empty quivered, Did you see them, did you see them? They were there to wave to you. Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow? Eighteen years of American dream, His mother had told him a trip was a fall, He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall, And don't mention babies at all. He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall. Did you see him, did you see him? Did you see him in the river? He was there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, Held a broken arrow? Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, The streets were lined for the wedding parade, The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song, Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn. The black covered caisson her horses had drawn They married for peace and were gone. Did you see them in the river? Did you see them, did you see them? They were there to wave to you. Could you tell that the empty quivered, Brown skinned Indian on the banks That were crowded and narrow, Held a broken arrow |
