The Summer Before

out of the camera lens
is arizona
and arizona's as good as
california
then tell you in confidence,
If it wasn't for you
in arizona
out from an instrument
the calm before it
I saw the bloodstains
all sorrows are wasted on you
in arizona
hold the machinery
and call the foreman
make the sun rise
and tell all the coffins
all summer was wasted on you,
Arizona
i'll see you someday
the sky and night's home
the clouds roll in
arizona

all of the sighing children,
the summer before they came to know us.
said all of the sighing children
on the summer before they came to know us.

out of the camera lens
