Coyotes

Ruth Moody

There in the steam it was some kind of dream
But I knew that I hadn't been sleeping
You stood by my side as the gates opened wide
You said ‘this could be yours for the keeping’

Then in the dark it was some kind of bark
A voice said ‘you must have been dreaming’
There were strains of a song it was hours from dawn
Outside the coyotes were scheming

Oh now there’s a fire in my heart
I've been trying so hard not to feed it
Trying so hard not to need it
Oh but it’s drawing me in
I've been trying so hard not to heed it
But I wanna know how it feels just to know how you feel it
How you feel it

You're the ring, you're the ropе, the slippery slope
Thе riddle I could never forget
The wing and the weight, the white and the eight
I swear I’ll make sense of it yet

The dream calls me back, there’s no white, there’s no black
Only colours that I’ve never known
I'm wearing your shirt and we’re covered in dirt
You smile and you call me your own

Oh now there’s a fire in my heart
I've been trying so hard not to feed it
Trying so hard not to need it
Oh but it’s drawing you in
I’ve been trying so hard not to reel it
But you wanna know how it feels just to know how I feel

This fire in my heart
I’ve been trying so hard not to feed it
Trying so hard not to need it
Oh but it’s drawing me in
You’re a siren and I’m dying just to hear it
I wanna know how it feels to know just how you feel it
How you feel it
How you feel it
How you feel it
