Lyrics Coyote - Summer Underground

Coyote

Standing on the Hudson’s edge
I watch these crystal lights don their nighttime skin
I don’t think I’ve ever felt winds this strong
I watch them balance all the chaos
Into bliss-filled, untamed song
I cry in time with her:
«Hosannah, Manhattan»
I was alone with her
Breathing her stillness
Oh but I — I wanna step out to your front porch
I wanna listen to the wolves in your back yard
Take me now I’m ready
The evening’s running steady and I’m all alone and ready for your arms
Isn’t it wonderful to feel so alarmed?
In the morning when you wake your bones
Who will you see outside your window?
I don’t need an answer
But I won’t be the cancer
That destroys you all and leaves you to rust
I can believe in anything if I must
But I’m here
This beautiful prison
I feel like a child
And you are a novel
I turn your pages
The bears and the caverns
The Earl after work’s out
Hudson St. and the third house
Or being too high
In your winter cabin
The casino in Pittsburgh
The bridges and real birds
The American flag planted
Next to a gravestone
The earth and the ocean
And Aquinnah at sundown
You help me see it:
The beauty in all things
But not ‘til they’re ending
What would the point be?
To realize i’m grateful
Before its too late for
Feelings like that
To wash over me
I’m sick of the rats —
Just let them free
And we sing:
«Hosannah, Hosannah»
I can feel everything change
