Buffalo

Lyrics by：Alynda Segarra

Produced by：Brad Cook

Two moons and a raging river

Saddled up by the piñon on 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 dear dodo

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

And I 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
