The Nits - Cowboys & Indians lyrics

I thought that I saw you in the last train With a plastic white fork in your hand Your teeth, your elbows, your shoulders Your mouth and your eyes You saw me standing on a platform One second with 24 frames I was gone with the last letter of your name When we were looking Looking at the sky When we were cowboys and indians Waving goodbye My dream fell into pieces It's so difficult to paint a horse And your sister said "There's no Wild West" That's when I needed I needed more time When we were cowboys and indians Waiting in line When we were looking Looking at the sky When we were cowboys and indians Waving goodbye "Hope is a strange invention", Emily said And words come down like rain On our head
