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 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?
