Coyote Collar Lyrics

Coyote collar

A dress made of down

Trapped in silence

Of a northern town

Where the sunlight

Can blind you

And keep you awake

Your limbs ache

Any they take

and take and take

Wet black ground

Dark as ink

A pair of dogs

Nip at my feet

If there was something written

It's been Worn out away

The water scores

Deep through the veins

I'd be good for you

You'd be good for me

And what would it take

To make you happy?

There's nothing so heavy

Living like clay

Pressed into shape

Your warm breath gives me life

Today

I hung around

In my Saturday cloths

Torn up denim

Corduroy coat

Like all sacred objects

They are simple they are plain

I where them out

Again and again

And again
