Coyote Song

Conor Oberst
Verse:
Loving you is easy
I could do it in my sleep
I dream of you so often it's like
You never leave
But you're down below the border
With a nightmare in between
So I'm sending a Coyote
To bring you back to me
Well there's a fancy hotel waiting
In South San Gabriel
Where the movie madames sunbathe the playboy's
Parisail
I know you think I'm crazy
But most people, they can't tell
And I'll meet you there tomorrow
If I can have you to myself
Chorus:
And so the time
I tried to find a way to occupy
a way since you been away
It's hard, the plans we starred
of calling cards
I can't see your poker face
While your voice is sounding so brave
Verse:
Our Lady Guadalupe
In plaster on the wall
Joseph Smith saw Jesus in
America
Well I don't know much about it
It doesn't matter much at all
If you keep your head down lady
As you travel through the dark
And if I should seem distracted
By the color of the sky
As a copper wire sunset plays
A lullaby
It's just to know they've stolen
Another day from you and I
It gets me feeling lowdown
When the moon is full and high
Chorus:
Been fake
We're out to take
A place that's safe
That you might wait a day
A lonesome broken dawn
That finally comes
Just as I was losing faith
You keep every promise you make
Verse:
Loving you is easy
I could do it in my sleep
I dream of you so often it's like
You never leave
But you're gone below the border
With a nightmare in between
So I'm sending a Coyote
To bring you back to me
Yes I'm sending a Coyote
To bring you back to me
