Aaron Cometbus - Buffalo Lyrics

Buffalo once roamed
The great expanse of our country
Now they stand in the sandbox
In the corner of the city
We had our picnics in the park
Watching the bison mope
Once a proud and noble beast
Now the butt of our bad jokes

You saw me off at the station
In your leopard print coat and hat
It was a cliché, we had to laugh
Waving at me as I left
But the laughter made us sadder
Than the leaving could have had
In a flash I cried
Oh, goodbye, girl of mine

When it came time for me to go
The buffalo had the last laugh
Waiting at the gate
They sneered, they strut, they prance
How did I know I thought a thing like that?
A fling was only fleeting
An instant in the distant past
Made to end, not made to last
You saw me off at the station
In your leopard print coat and hat
Was a cliché, we had to laugh
Waving at me as I left
But the laughter made us sadder
Than the leaving could have had
In a flash I cried
Oh, goodbye, girl, it was a time

What a time, a time to remember
Something that good can't last forever
But now I wonder if it might have after all
As the train pulled away, it hit me
What I really would be missing
Leaving was not as bitter or sweet
As laughter could be
