Broken Arrow (the Best Of) 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?
