Buffalo

Two moons and a raging river Saddled up by the pinyon fire Drove out to the edge of the pueblo Bought a drum from a man who cried And the children's show is on the ceiling And the way that you hold my hand And I yelled and I didn't know the reason But I knew that you'd understand Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Some things take time, I know they do Some things take time, I know they do I hope our time will never go I hope our time will never go Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Will we go like the woolly mammoth Or the de do do Gone like the Bachman's warbler Disappeared like the melting snow Little Mariana fruit bats Or the bridled white-eye bird Or will we keep on running Like the sound of the buffalo herd That Sky Redhawk recorded Out on his cousin's farm Up north in Minnesota He tied the recorder in the yard Up to a gatepost waiting Slept out in a tent to hear The rumble, of the big stampede That one day magically appeared Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Some things take time, I know they do Some things take time, I know they do I hope our time will never go I hope our time will never go Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo I don't want us to be like that Running wild and running free This year tried to kill us, baby Well good luck trying, you can't catch me And I'll jump off this cliff with you If that means we will survive 'Cause we drove out to the desert Just to leave the past behind And our footsteps fall in shadows Treading light down the canyon trail And the sun is barely rising And the stars like a wedding veil And I cannot lie to you 'Cause you can read my mind So I think I'll try with you Some things just take more time Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Some things take time (I know they do) Some things take time (I know they do) And I hope our time will never go I hope our time will never go Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Some things take time (I know they do) Some things take time (I know they do) And I hope our time will never go I hope our time will never go Two weeks just to catch the buffalo Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
