Lyrics
Buffalo Dreams
copyright 2007 KOOTS
Old Indians and cowboy take London in the Fall
The chance to live again makes actors of us all
We bring the Little Big Horn to a foreign land
The Seventh Calvary fights one more last stand
I?m growing old and I dream of buffalo
(And) the Wild West is setting with the sun
The spectators cheer to (see) How the West Was Won
Something?s lost when life becomes a show
It seems a long time ago
Sometimes it seems like Buffalo Dreams
You know it seems like Buffalo Dreams
Sometimes he wakes in the night with the sound of a million hooves
like thunder on the land
He remembers the last time he felt alive in a fight to the death
with Yellow Hand
Was it only Buffalo Dreams?
Buffalo Girl won?t you come out tonight
Please, won?t you come out tonight?
Springtime in Paris, the century draws near
They come to see the buffalo and those who brought them here
Lawmen chase outlaws who rob another stage
Like in storybooks from another age
I?m feeling old and I dream of going home
In the half light of dawn, he hums and old song
A memory that holds him there
He sees her again silhouette against the sky
Wild prairie wind blowing in her hair
As she danced by the light of the moon
Oh, she danced by the light of the moon
Buffalo girl won?t you come out tonight??.
