Natalie Merchant - The Painted Desert lyrics

[Chorus:] The painted desert Can wait till summer We've played this game of just imagine long enough Wait till summer? [Verse 1:] When i'm sure the rains have 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 is cowboy gear Sewn in japan? [Chorus] [Verse 2:] When i'm sure the rains have 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3:] 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 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?
