[Chorus] The painted desert Can wait till summer Weve played this game of just imagine long enough Wait till summer? [Verse 1] When Im 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 Sewn in japan? [Chorus] The painted desert Can wait till summer Weve played this game of just imagine long enough Wait till summer? [Verse 2] When Im sure the rains have ended 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 [Chorus] The painted desert Can wait till summer Weve played this game of just imagine long enough Wait till summer? [Verse 3] 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 Isnt that the plan we had or have you changed your mind? I havent read a word from you since Phoenix or Tucson April is over, will you tell me how long Before I can be there?
