Blue Coyote

There’s a blue coyote, I hear her howl

She’s got a dark, dark sound that trails down to a growl

In the night there's no mistaking, I feel it in my bones

Like an old sad memory, like I’ll always be alone

But I love to hear her, I always do

But why, should that coyote sound so blue

She howls about her places, where I'll never go

She calls of what she's seen, things I'll never know

But she makes me want to know them, makes me want to feel

What that coyote knows, coyote knows is real

But I love to hear her, I always do

But why, should that coyote sound so blue

In the summer she can wail just like a train

And in the winter night I hear her sad refrain

Sounds like all the lies she ever heard she somehow could make true

But Coyote why do you sound so blue

But that howl will stop you, when you’re walking out alone

Make you wish for things you miss, make you dream of home

Oh that howl will stop you, make you lose your way

Make you feel you’re out alone, may be out to stay

But I love to hear her, I always do

But why, should that coyote sound so blue

In the summer she can wail just like a train

And in the winter night I hear her sad refrain

Sounds like all the lies she ever heard she somehow could make true

But Coyote why do you sound so blue

So Blue
