lyrics

The lone coyote comin' 'round
The lone coyote comin' 'round
Do you hear the sound?
Coyote comin' 'round

A man-o-war
Washed up on a foreign shore
Thunderheads high above the desert floor
The letter names the next of kin
Locust shell, yellow wind
Weather vane spinnin' 'bove the cellar door
The stowaway an only son
Pray the lone coyote come again

The lone coyote comin' 'round
The lone coyote comin' 'round
Do you hear the sound?
Coyote comin' 'round

So put an iron chain
On your garden gate
Watch the shadows intersectin' on the hour plate
Two bodies lost among the rye
The widow blames the Lorelei
Cursed they who read the lie upon the slate
Heaven cries and raven yearns
The lone coyote is returned tonight

So gather round
On this, our common ground
And light a beacon for the sails out in the sound
And beat the drum in a circle long unjoined for reasons only elders can recount
And let the silver hammers ring
Let departed spirits sing
The song of one was gone but now that's comin' round
There ain't a thing for you to fear
Just tell me darlin' do you hear the sound?

The lone coyote comin' 'round
The lone coyote comin' 'round
Do you hear the sound?
Coyote comin' 'round
