Buffalo Feet

(album: To The Tall Trembling Trees - 2016)

There is nothing I can do but hold the land
All the soil that buries our lives in the palms of my hands
And maybe I could let it all fall down
Fill the space between you and I, the sky and the ground

Hearts beat like buffalo feet, hearts beat beat
Hearts beat like buffalo buffalo, hearts beat

You made me cry the night you walked the stream
Now it runs your hair, your ears, the palms of your feet
In your chest I've always heard them run
It's the sound of leaving behind the things that you love

Hearts beat like buffalo feet, hearts beat beat
Hearts beat like buffalo buffalo, hearts beat

You won't be missing the sun that does not show
Behind the mountain the absence of it's glow
You won't be missing the sun that does not show
Behind the mountain, darling, the absence of it's glow

Hearts beat like buffalo feet, hearts beat beat
Hearts beat like buffalo buffalo, hearts beat

Hearts beat like buffalo feet, hearts beat beat
Hearts beat like buffalo buffalo, hearts beat

It's the sound of leaving behind the things that you love
(Hearts beat like buffalo feet, buffalo buffalo)
It's the sound of leaving behind the things that you love
(Hearts beat like buffalo feet, buffalo buffalo)

It's the sound of leaving behind the things that you love
(Hearts beat, buffalo buffalo)
It's the sound of leaving behind the things that you love
(Hearts beat, buffalo buffalo)
