Its been forty-five days since the snows have begun I stare at the fire and long for the sun As the bitter winds blow through the mouth of the pa** I sit here and dream of the Buffalo gra** The ponies are shaggy; their coats have grown long With heads down, they huddle together as one At the window my breath forms a mist on the gla** As I patiently wait for the Buffalo gra** The Seasons still turn And the prairies still yearn For those who were here long ago The Sioux have all gone and the Bison moved on Soon, I will follow them home Mollie pa**ed in September and left me alone Now my heart is as heavy and round as a stone Too many years have gone by too fast
And I long for the feel of the Buffalo gra** The animals sleep while the world holds it's breath The woods are as still and as silent as d**h When the mountain streams flow, spring will follow at last And the wind will blow free through the Buffalo gra** The Seasons still turn And the prairies still yearn For those who were here long ago The Sioux have all gone and the Bison moved on Soon, I will follow them home The geese will return, a symbol of change The elk will be foraging out on the range Once again nature's palette will color the pa** And I will find peace in the Buffalo gra** Yes, I will find peace in the Buffalo gra**
