Coyote Grace July lyrics

Coyote Man done lost his way
Can't bring himself to go outside
Coyote Man done broken his leg
Stranded in the city in July

It's too hot here, he says
I should be running my summer away
No tree to climb, no water for swimming
No desert clay

CHORUS:
And I… can't find the way to get moving again
In July… where the wind and the sun and the dirt
and the trees are calling my name
And I'm gonna sing the day away
And I'm gonna wait and pray

Coyote Man is moving slow
Wiling them hours away
Coyote Man goes looking below
The mind can move and the body stays


Stars in his eyes, Moon in his mind
Aching to bay
Itching his legs, nothing to say
This ain't no holiday

[CHORUS]

Coyote Man is breathing in
Breathing in and out again
Coyote Man holed up in his den
Catching overdue sleep and dreaming

He knows the land, he knows the tides
He knows the storms of flesh and bone
He knows the roads will come to claim him
And carry him home

[CHORUS]
