The Summer Before

Lyrics

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 you came to know us Said all of the sighing children The summer before you came to know us 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 Out from an instrument in Arizona All summer's wasted on you, Arizona All summer's wasted on you, Arizona
