Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quiver,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,

Though you're thinking that
You're leaving there too soon,
