Coyote Mother

I was gliding deep into the heart

Of the river that bends back and forth

Hidden in cypress bodies that hold

Secrets are kept here from days of old

Coyote mother

Raise your body from the water

Lift your gaze to the sky

Turn the moon yellow wild

In harmony the buzzards in the sky

Are making circles and biding their time

Take a look dear mother you can't carry the load

Your body will give way before it gets old

Coyote mother

Raise your body from the water

Lift your gaze to the sky

Turn the moon yellow wild

I see myself in your eyes

Hollowed out

River take my life

I see myself in your eyes

Hollowed out

River take my life
