Glass Buffalo

lyrics

G Major // Scored For:

Piano
Snare Drum w/ Brushes, Sleigh Bells, Kick Drum
2 Flutes, Oboe

Clear, clear as glass
My buffalo.
Charge, through the field.

Dance, on the fridge
My sweet heirloom.
Hold, shaking hands.

Tense, wild heart
My atmosphere
Bars in the dark.

Quick, through the air
My feathered friend
Charge, around the rooms

Clear, clear as glass
My buffalo
guard, you from me.

Dance, near the fridge
My answered dream
Pushed through the door.


You will do better
Fly faster
In Ohio.


Oh, how could I have known?
These arms,
Never meant to cause alarm.

Oh, how could I have known?
Your soul,
Having trouble letting go?

Oh, how could I have known
My little love
That these arms would cause alarm.

Oh, how could I have known
My buffalo
Having trouble letting go?


Oh, how could I have known
My buffalo
Clear as glass I should have known
