Back in Buffalo
Journey Through Rain: Leo Kottke's Buffalo Reflections
Lyrics
We got out of Buffalo
We departed from Buffalo.
Locked inside the plane
We were confined within the airplane.
And underneath the clouds below
Beneath the clouds, the weather changed to rain.
The weather turned to rain
Reiteration of the weather transitioning to rain.
The weather turned to rain
Reiteration of the weather turning to rain.
Sunlight blinded passenger
Passengers were dazzled by sunlight, looking down with fear.
Staring down at fright
They were gazing down with anxiety.
We said don't we love misery
We acknowledged our love for misery.
Maybe we were right
Suggesting that embracing misery might have been the right choice.
Maybe we were right
Reiteration of the possibility that embracing misery was correct.
Far above Lake Erie
We were high above Lake Erie.
We got lost on wine
We became lost while indulging in wine.
We said we know what we're doing
We claimed to know what we were doing.
But we had lost our minds
However, we had lost our rationality or sense.
We had lost our minds
Reiteration of losing our mental clarity.
Ten more years on marley floors
Ten additional years on marley floors.
We left that job to go
We abandoned that occupation to return.
Back where people loved us once
We went back to where we were once loved.
We're back in Buffalo
We have returned to Buffalo.
We're back in Buffalo
Reiteration of returning to Buffalo.
