Broken Arrow Lyrics - Buffalo Springfield Again - Buffalo Springfield

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down 

And when it was over it felt like a dream 

They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream 

The agents had paid for the black limousine 

That waited outside in the rain 

Did you see them, did you see them? 

Did you see them in the river? 

They were there to wave to you 

Could you tell that the empty quivered 

Brown skinned Indian on the banks 

That were crowded and narrow 

Held a broken arrow? 

Eighteen years of American dream 

He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall 

He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall 

His mother had told him a trip was a fall 

And don't mention babies at all 

Did you see him, did you see him? 

Did you see him in the river? 

He was there to wave to you 

Could you tell that the empty quivered 

Brown skinned Indian on the banks 

That were crowded and narrow 

Held a broken arrow 

The streets were lined for the wedding parade 

The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song 

The black covered caisson her horses had drawn 

Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn 

They married for peace and were gone 

Did you see them, did you see them? 

Did you see them in the river? 

They were there to wave to you 

Could you tell that the empty quivered 

Brown skinned Indian on the banks 

That were crowded and narrow 

Held a broken arrow?
