U.F.O Rosie

A white buffalo you say
And paper to roll with the prophecy way
When the snakes criss-cross like roads over land
Get an aerial view of arable land

They saw a U.F.O in the valley
There's an alien in the street
We slept in the trailer in January's heat
A neighbour named Rosie
Pockets full supposedly

He was awakened from the sleep
And it stayed warm under the sheet
Bathed in 20 full minutes of afterglow
Touched down in the snap and the crackle of snow

They saw a U.F.O in the valley
There's an alien in the street
We slept in the trailer in January's heat
A neighbour named Rosie
Pockets full supposedly

And you looked high
And you looked stunned
Saying "Why aren't I?
Why aren't I one?"

They saw a U.F.O in the valley
Theres an alien in the street
We slept in the trailer in January's heat
A neighbour named Rosie
Pockets full supposedly
Good Fortune

You walked away away from us
Pulling weeds in the later afternoon sun
Off somewhere alone to take one last look at a life you had begun

And I set off my boots on gravel
Potholed lane just tagging on
Looked both ways down the fire road
To see which way you had gone

Been sipping tea all day from a pot
Steeping slowly on the stove
Explored a cave into the bay
Along Canadian shield coast
Moss covered crevices line the inside of my brain
I got lost in the overgrowth
You dont notice time and it gets late

I thank my lucky starts tonight that you are here
Your eyes so blue so bright
Good fortune's found me out
Up in Parry Sound I lie
Waiting in sleep until the night goes by

The high was on
You're in mind
Getting ready for something to be something after all this time

And now Im leaning back against your warm coat
Under a setting galaxy
Orions belt with all I felt
It was a wonder I could see
There in that clearing where the treelines shadows
Impose on the blacker sky

I opened my hand for the first time

I thank my lucky stars tonight that you are here
Your eyes so blue so bright
Good fortunes found me out
Up in Parry Sound I lie
Waiting in sleep until the night goes by
Until the night goes by
