I went into the desert and I missed him Don’t know if it was the mountains Asking questions I went into the desert and I held him Through a muddy creek, he Was sand pooling in my hands And every night the desert sang a love song And inside my languid body was a fight And every night I hoped that he would come home But by daylight I knew it wasn’t right The wash is drying up Underneath the red sunset And I’m a lizard slinking through The valley of regret Oh, I’m the wild coyote Yelping at the midnight sky A lover, forgotten how to love The sparrow, how to fly Hollow, hollow when the moon is rising, rising Lost my footing in the desert canyon I lost him, and I lost my home Saw him vanish into the horizon And there I was, left to be alone
