10000 Maniacs - The Painted Desert

The Painted Desert can wait till summer. We've played
this game of just imagine long enough. Wait till summer ? When
I'm sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone, everyone
killed by the morning frost. Is a cactus blooming there in every
roadside stand where the big deal is cowboy gear swon in Japan ?
The Painted Desert can wait till summer. We've played
this game of just imagine long enough. Wait till summer? When
I'm sure the rains have ended and the blooms have gone, everyone
killed by the morning frost. Is a cactus blooming there upon the
Northern rim or in the ruins of the Hopi mesa dens?
You met a new friend in the Canyon, or so you wrote. On
a blanket in the cooling sand you and your friend agreed that the
stars were so many there they seemed to overlap.
The Painted Desert can wait till summer. We've played
this game of just imagine long enough. Wait till summer? When I
am sure the rain has ended, the blooms have gone, everyone killed
by the morning frost. Was a cactus blooming there as you watched
the Native boy? In Flagstaff trailer court, you wrote the line:
"He kicked a tumbleweed and his mother called him home where the
Arizona moon met the Arizona sun."
I wanted to be there by May at the latest time. Isn't
that the plan we had or have you changed your mind? I haven't
read a word from you since Pheonix or Tucson. April is over will
you tell me how long before I can be there?
