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
