| Lyrics: | 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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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 |
