Carrie Newcomer - Coy dogs

^EmThere've been too many leavings to list in one place ^EmToo many arrivals to ever retrace And ^Cthose who have ^Gwandered haven't ^Dfallen from ^Emgrace Just ^Cdone a few ^Gthings they would ^Dlike to e^Emrase ^CMet with their ^Gshadow^D face to fa^Emce

^EmUp on the ridge top a coy dog cries ^EmA motherless coyote with bright yellow eyes A ^Ccoy dog's half ^Gfriendly, the ^Dother half ^Emwild ^CHalf is home^Gbody and ^Dhalf is street^Emwise It ^Ccan't help it's ^Gnature, but ^Dgod knows it ^Emtries

^CStar^Glight, ^Dstar ^Embright ^C All the ^Gdogs are ^Drestless to^Emnight ^CLeave ^Gon the ^Dporch ^Emlight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight

^EmIt's all blessed and restless and up for debate ^EmA season and chance to alter a fate But a ^Cmoment can ^Gpass just be^Dcause it can't ^Emwait And ^Ctime hits you ^Ghard with a ^Dterrible ^Emweight Like a ^Crock to the ^Gforehead, ^Dstamped with "Too ^EmLate"

^CStar^Glight, ^Dstar ^Embright ^C All the ^Gdogs are ^Drestless to^Emnight ^CLeave ^Gon the ^Dporch ^Emlight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight

Our vision is ^Coften faulty ^{Am Am}We see but through the glass darkly And yet, we ^Cknow deep ^Gdown When we ^Chear the ^Gsound When it ^Dspeaks our name

The ^Emmoon eats its centre until it dissolves ^EmConquers its shadow with a single resolve Here's to ^Choping for ^Gwholeness no ^Dmatter how ^Emsmall ^CAsking the ^Gquestions that ^Dcannot be ^Emsolved And ^Cfollowing the ^Gache of a ^Dnameable ^Emcall

^CStar^Glight, ^Dstar ^Embright ^C All the ^Gdogs are ^Drestless to^Emnight ^CLeave ^Gon the ^Dporch ^Emlight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight I'll be^C home ^Gafter ^Dmid^Emnight
