Broken Arrow

[Intro]

Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason

For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season

[Verse 1]

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? Did you see them?

[Chorus]

Did you see them in the river?

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?

[Verse 2]

Eighteen years of American dream

He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall

He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall

His mother had told him a trip was a fall

And don't mention babies at all

Did you see him? Did you see him?

[Chorus]

Did you see him in the river?

He was 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?

[Verse 3]

The streets were lined for the wedding parade

The queen wore the white gloves, the county of song

The black-covered caisson her horses had drawn

Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn

They married for peace and were gone

Did you see them? Did you see them?

[Chorus]

Did you see them in the river?

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?
