The Summer Before

The Summer Before Lyrics

And out of the camera lens is Arizona
And Arizona's as good as California
I'd tell you in confidence if it wasn't for you
In Arizona, out on a mission there

The calm before it I saw the bloodstains
All sorrows wasted on you in Arizona
Hold the machinery and call the foremen
Make the sun rise and tell all the coffins

All the summer's rage is on you in Arizona
And I am a simple man
The sky and night's cold
The crowd is roaming in Arizona

All of the sighing children
The summer before you came to know us
Said all of the sighing children
On the summer before you came to know us

Out of the camera lens is Arizona
And Arizona's as good as California
I'd tell you in confidence if it wasn't for you
Out on a mission here in Arizona

All the summer's wasted on you in Arizona
All the summer's wasted on you in Arizona
