Lyrics

Dakota - Tracey Bunn and Peter Hayes 2024

We don’t have a lot of time left Dakota
Why don’t you put the axe down
You’ve brought it to grind you’ve succeeded just fine
It’s honed and dressed up for a night on the town

We don’t have a lot of time left Dakota
Why can’t you put it to rest
And love me to stay like you loved me that day
When I loved you the way we knew best

Let’s smash a few windows and
Punch a few holes in the walls
We’ll saddle tomorrow and turn back the night
When it falls, when it falls

You don’t have to tell me my failings Dakota
I know em as well as can be
They’re like family to me
Fell from the same tree
Their skin is my skin but is that all you see

No we don’t have a lot of time left Dakota
Can’t we just stitch up and mend
Enjoy the sweet time that is owed us
Enjoy the good years left to spend

Let’s burn a few bibles and
Trip ourselves over the falls
Put on Little Richard and dance in the face of goodbye
When it calls, when it calls

It don’t have to be all shadow and cloud
Just one little sunbeam would do us both proud
Say you love me you love me for crying out loud
Dakota the airs getting thin
And we don’t get to do this again

Now we don’t have a lot of time left Dakota
That’s just the way of it all
These quiet precious seconds are ticking
Away like a clock on the wall
So let’s trip ourselves over the falls Dakota
Let’s trip ourselves over the falls
