about

A campfire with my love, under a big bright Coyote Moon. It's a lakeside tradition here in BC's Cariboo Chilcotin Country. Yup, that's how we spell 'Cariboo'; not to be confused with caribou. Things are different here.

lyrics

COYOTE MOON

CHORUS
It's a coyote moon tonight.
Can you feel your spirit howl at the light?
Sway in the rays to your true love's delight.
It's a coyote moon on this Cariboo night.

Let’s lie on the dock, and gaze at the sky.
The stars are so bright they shine in your eyes.
We'll kiss long and slow to the calling of the loon,
On this Cariboo night, with its coyote moon.

You grab the lawn chairs, and I'll set a fire.
Come sit close beside me, and dream for a while.
Were sizzlin' like August, but it's still only June.
Just two helpless souls, to this coyote moon.

Here in the glow, the years melt away.
You're more beautiful now, than you were yesterday.
We're a couple of kids, just caught in a swoon.
A trick of the light, in the coyote moon.

CHORUS
It's a coyote moon tonight.
Can you feel your spirit howl at the light?
Sway in the rays to your true loves delight
It's a coyote moon, on this Cariboo night.

So howl it up boys, make lots of noise!
The moon is so bright on this coyote night.
