| 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 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?
|
| 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? |
