10,000 Maniacs - The Painted Desert lyrics

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 rain has ended, the blooms have gone Everyone k**ed by the morning frost Is a cactus blooming there in every roadside stand Where the big deal this cowboy gear sewn 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 rain has ended the blooms have gone Everyone k**ed 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 k**ed by the morning frost Was a cactus blooming there as you watched the native boy? In a flagstaff trailor court, you wrote the line 'He kicked a tumbleweed and his mother called him home Where the Arizona moon met the Arizona sun'
