Lyrics

If love was just a cannonball
And they stood in its way
It would knock them down and roll along
As they went about their day

She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars

Some would say their hearts are cold
Some would say they’re blind
But when you’re not looking for a heart
There ain’t no heart to find

She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars

If he was born a lonesome George
And she had come from Mars
Loneliness would still persist
Right within each other’s arms

She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars

A rose is not so beautiful
When sheltered from the light
And courage can be damning
When it confuses wrong and right

She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars

If they shared a narrow room
And had some time to pass
Would their actions be anchored
to their failures of the past

She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars
She’s too busy chasing buffalo
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars
And he’s too busy gazing at the stars
