[Verse 1]

Two moons and 

a raging river

Saddled up by the piñon on fire

Drove out to t

he edge of the

 pueblo

Bought a drum from a man who cried

And the childr

en's show is o

n the ceiling

And the way that you hold my hand

And I yelled a

nd I didn't kn

ow the reason

But I knew that you'd understand

[Chorus]

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

Some things ta

ke time, I kno

w they do

Some things take time, I know they do

I hope our tim

e will never g

o

I hope our time will never go

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

[Verse 2]

Will wе go lik

e the woolly m

ammoth

Or the dеar dodo

Gone like the 

Bachman's warb

ler

Disappeared like the melting snow

Little Mariana

 fruit bats

Or the bridled white-eye bird

Or will we kee

p on running

Like the sound of the buffalo herd

That Sky Redha

wk recorded

Out on his cousin's farm

Up north in Mi

nnesota

He tied the recorder in the yard

Up to a gatepo

st waiting

Slept out in a tent to hear

The rumble of 

the big stampe

de

That one day magically appeared

[Chorus]

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

Some things ta

ke time, I kno

w they do

Some things take time, I know they do

I hope our tim

e will never g

o

I hope our time will never go

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

[Verse 3]

And I want us 

to be like tha

t

Running wild and running free

This year trie

d 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 drov

e out to the d

esert

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 l

ie to you

'Cause you can read my mind

So I think I'l

l try with you

Some things just take more time

[Chorus]

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo

Some things ta

ke time (I kno

w they do)

Some things take time (I know they do)

I hope our tim

e will never g

o

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 ta

ke time (I kno

w they do)

Some things take time (I know they do)

I hope our tim

e will never g

o

I hope our time will never go

Two weeks just

 to catch the 

buffalo

Two weeks just to catch the buffalo
