[00:09.16]The Painted Desert can wait till summer.
[00:21.08]We’ve played this game of just imagine long enough.
[00:26.49]Wait till summer?
[00:29.65]When I’m sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone,
[00:35.84]Everyone killed by the morning frost.
[00:42.44]Is a cactus blooming there in every roadside stand
[00:47.64]Where the big deal is cowboy gear won in Japan?
[00:55.54]The Painted Desert can wait till summer.
[01:04.48]We’ve played this game of just imagine long enough.
[01:09.45]Wait till summer?
[01:12.41]When I’m sure the rains have ended and the blooms have gone,
[01:20.47]Everyone killed by the morning frost.
[01:25.12]Is a cactus blooming there upon the Northern rim
[01:30.72]Or in the ruins of the Hopi mesa dens?
[01:38.54]You met a new friend in the Canyon, or so you wrote.
[01:48.16]On a blanket in the cooling sand you and your friend agreed that
[01:57.37]The stars were so many there they seemed to overlap.
[02:09.59]The Painted Desert can wait till summer.
[02:18.68]We’ve played this game of just imagine long enough.
[02:23.62]Wait till summer?
[02:26.62]When I am sure the rain has ended, the blooms have gone,
[02:34.58]Everyone killed by the morning frost.
[02:39.58]Was a cactus blooming there as you watched the Native boy?
[02:45.40]In Flagstaff trailer court, you wrote the line:
[02:51.40]”He kicked a tumbleweed and his mother called him home where the Arizona moon met the Arizona sun.”
[03:02.76]I wanted to be there by May at the latest time.
[03:10.43]Isn’t that the plan we had or have you changed your mind?
[03:15.56]I haven’t read a word from you since Phoenix or Tucson.
[03:20.72]April is over will you tell me how long before I can be there?
