0089 – Broken arrow - Buffalo Springfield - (1967)

Escrita por Neil Young, foi gravada pelo Buffalo Springfield em agosto e setembro de 1967 e lançada em 18 de novembro de 1967 no disco Buffalo Springfield Again. Foi produzida por Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay e Jack Nitzsche. Foi gravada no Columbia Recording Studios e no Sunset Sound Recorders. Tem três partes diferentes. Começa com um aplauso de um show dos Beatles e o começo de Mr. Soul. O segundo verso começa com uma vaia, enquanto é tocada uma versão da música Take me out to the ball game. Todos os três versos lidam com o imaginário surreal para lidar com emoções como vazio da fama, raiva adolescente, angústia, e falta de esperança.


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?
