COYOTE SUNDOWN words and music by Lenny Solomon

© L. Solomon 2005

 

Sun sits on the mountain ridge

Swirling sands, close to the ground

Sagebrush blows across the plains

On its way to Mexico

Coyote stares as the stars come out

He makes his way from the valley floor

Cautious, climbs to the top of the rim

Takes a look and start to howl

Another Coyote Sundown

A silhouette on the setting sun

Shadows stretched on the canyon walls

Seem to crawl, as darkness falls

 

Bats are filling up the sky

Coyote wishes he was one

Dreams of soaring through the air

Playing tag with every one

Every night’s a magic night

Every night an axe does fall

Coyote stalks ‘till he’s tuckered out

Falls asleep at the break of dawn

Another Coyote Sundown

A silhouette on the setting sun

Shadows stretched on the canyon walls

Seem to crawl, as darkness falls

Another Coyote Sundown

Night time comes, the moon still low

Stories told, of ancient past

Were build to last, built to last
