Letra Buffalo Hurray For The Riff Raff

Buffalo

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 w? go like the woolly mammoth?
Or the d?ar 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)
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)
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
