Coyote

I was watching news night and day
Till it was watching me
You said, come, stay in the country
And I liked your ray of light
I knew you'd never lie
And you spoke, Calm and softly

Right here In this afterlife
Living in the country could set things right

Cause the world was spinning crazy
But just as wild as the world has always known it could be
I heard a coyote singing
On the street where I was living
In the city, by the bay

Everything out your window
Was painted by Monet
The sun spattered on oaks and sage
Poppies big as oranges
Springtime, gorgeous
And the pink Climbing roses

Right here In this afterlife
A good walk outside sets things right

You gave me fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
But we never did get that fever
Cause we were there learning to hide
Swimming in the nude
Drying in the breeze
Wild turkeys, frogs and geese
Listen, can you hear them?

Folks are friendly
And wave driving by
Or crossing the fields just to say hi
Mornings are perfectly cold
For grapes on my big road
And we would drink that good white wine

Right here in this afterlife
Here's to new friends in the countryside

But it's time, time does come
When you need to find home
You saved me, I saved you from being alone
The garden came in nice
Tomatoes red and ripe
When you visit
Bring me a good one

Right here, in this afterlife
You have my heart, yeah, I'll come back anytime

And the world still spinning crazy
And just as wild as the world has always known it could be
Now the hawks they're back winging
On this hill where I'm back living
In the city, by the bay

Right here, in this afterlife
Well, we haven't died, we're still alive

Not too old to hold the light
And help to set things right
Right here, in this afterlife
I can bake a blackberry pie
Right here in this afterlife
