Coyote Crown

(album: Skeleton Coast - 2020)

Disappear in fog and rain
Abandoned words of yesterday
Arrested syntax of my youth
Cassettes were piled high
On coffee table dreams of mine
I found my way here on a crooked line

Regrets just cracks in my ribs
Paint your sunlight on my bones

Rewind. I was the hero of another time
Now, who am I? The writer of the storyline?
Now, who am I? The writer of the storyline?

Walked the scars of history
For firewood and gasoline
Erased my footprints in the moonlight
I sang a coyote song
I watched the fire burn
Higher and higher

Rewind. I was the hero of another time
Now, who am I? The writer of the storyline?
Now, who am I? The writer of the storyline?

I wear a coyote crown
I watch the world burn down
I wear a coyote crown
I watch the world burn down
I wear a coyote crown
I watch the world burn down
I wear a coyote crown
I watch the world burn down
