COYOTE BLUE
Bruce Cockburn


Here comes coyote sniffing down the trail
dodging pools of moonlight cool and pail
blue darkness and yellow light
raging after all thats in the spiny desert night

Coyote Blue, comming after you (repeat)

Used to have a jacket, used to have a tie
Must have left them somewhere in the course of passing by
hey thats me down there with my tail stuck out behind
if I don't catch you soon I'm gonna go out of my mind

Coyote Blue, comming after you (repeat)

There's all these points of contact to explore
there's a hunger in the bones that's calling more
there's life leaping forward with a roar
there's alot of tricks been played a billion times before

But this trick is what is happening got to play it as it lays
got to keep your wits about you, its an ever shifting maze
hear the scratch of paws on gravel, hear the panting in the grass
hear the happy goofball howl and come on meet me at the pass

Coyote Blue, comming after you
