Buffalo Tom - Your Stripes Lyrics

It was a time so full
And as rich as me and you
In a case of deja vu
I forgot that I knew you
Every day was like a grape
Or as rich as a chocolate cake
And I took all I could take
And laid claim to what I'd stake
And oh I loved you in your stripes
Oh you look so good in stripes
But they never stay the same
They change from day to day
And I'm truly scarred for life
We glowed like fireflies
Lost in lows of nights and
Forgetting family fights
At night the starlight gleams
This pillow's made for dreams
You drift away it seems
Into soft flannel dreams
