Buffalo Lyrics
The summer months left me alone
But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm
In the night you and I drove
Have you ever seen lightning and snow?
All these weeks without a note
It's like a ticking clock
Every time that you phone
I've run aground truth be told
And when it comes to me
I'll let you know
Don't be like that
Just my luck an Irish rose
In a drinking hole
I'd played a thousand one shows
What you need is to just go home
And when it comes to you
Don't leave it alone
Don't be like that
Up ahead the roads were closed
And the Gennys ran most of Buffalo
The customs man at border control
said yes you can go
But you won't make it home
Don't be like that
But the fall rolled in on the back of a storm
In the night you and I drove
Have you ever seen lightning and snow?
It's like a ticking clock
Every time that you phone
I've run aground truth be told
And when it comes to me
I'll let you know
In a drinking hole
I'd played a thousand one shows
What you need is to just go home
And when it comes to you
Don't leave it alone
And the Gennys ran most of Buffalo
The customs man at border control
said yes you can go
But you won't make it home

A lovely song :D
i love this. her phrasing and delivery are so lovely and devastating. this song has such a feeling of movement and also staying stationary at the same time.
Beautiful song. The closing lines are reminiscent of the ending to Hotel California. You can go, but you won't get to the place you want to be.
