Quotes

• “Oh, to live on Sugar MountainWith the barkers and the colored balloons,You can't be twenty on Sugar MountainThough you're thinking thatYou're leaving there too soon,You're leaving there too soon.”
• “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 banksThat were crowded and narrow,Held a broken arrow?”
• “There you stood on the edge of your featherExpecting to fly.While I laughed, I wondered whetherI could wave goodbyeKnowin' that you'd gone.”
• “I gave to you, now, you give to meI'd like to know what you learned.The sky is blue and so is the seaWhat is the color, when black is burned?”
• “There is a town in north Ontario,With dream comfort memory to spare,And in my mind I still need a place to go,All my changes were there.”
• “Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.We're finally on our own.This summer I hear the drummin'.Four dead in Ohio.”
