Towing a Buffalo

from Steppin' Out by Nuclear Sibling

/

lyrics

I lay by the gas fire and closed my eyes
There's nowhere I'd rather be under these skies
Talk about bus routes round Strawberry Hill way
Could listen to you talking about buses for days

Catch a train to the suburbs, turn up at your door
I took to the back bedroom as the snow began to fall
Or sit in the kitchen and be fed like a prince of the night
Come in from the city under fluorescent light

So goodbye dear friend, I never thought it could end
But turns out we didn't have much say
Now the hearth grows cold and the New Year bells toll:
I must release you to the ghosts of last year

Blackbirds and Robins and rogue Parakeets
The backyard their playground, safe from the streets
But "no use in feeding them" was the message that came for the birds
"They're on their own now, for I won't return"

So goodbye dear friend...

Our last conversation, you said you didn't believe
But if you get the option, you'll be watching over me
And each time I play this here guitar
I tug on that thread, now stretching so far

So goodbye dear friend...
