The Whole Buffalo

from Let There Be Dark by Chelsea Coleman

/

lyrics

When you're done convincing me and I'm done convincing you
Honey, you know we're just gonna do whatever we're gonna do
and when I'm done crying over things that ain't true
When you're done fighting against the wings that lift you
and when I'm done lying about the diamonds in my shoes
Oh honey you know we're just gonna do whatever we're gonna do

And I won't hide my devotion, I won't cover my love
with a cold ambivalence or readiness to run
I am buffalo abundance
Readiness to give
My whole damn body is built for it

So you can take your time testing the depth of my love
My tears, they are fleeting, and my God is enough
and you know I'll keep on walking
I'll move steady on through
Cause honey you know we're just gonna do whatever we're gonna do

And I won't hide my devotion, I won't cover my love
with a cold ambivalence or readiness to run
I am buffalo abundance
Readiness to give
My whole damn body is built for it

So the gifts you've been receiving
you get to keep them, bones and all
Don't you know when you take the buffalo,
you take the buffalo whole.
