Is What It Is (The Coyote Burial)
Let them feast, coyote meat
I don't know how long he's been dead to me
Ended a martyr before I came home
Tell my mother I didn't die alone
I found you

"Is what it is," we say
No one should lose a friend that way
"Is what it is," we say
No one should lose a friend that way

Man in the maze
Or is it in me?
I heard the vulture pray before he eats
"I'll make it right, my friend
This ain't goodbye, my friend
Climb up that ladder
I'll see you again."

Please tell my love
"This ain't the end
Honey, ain't nothing
Ever really dead!"

I hear my sisters
Singing me home
Tell my father I didn't die alone
I found you. I found you
"Is what it is," we say
No one should lose a friend that way
"Is what it is," we say
No one should lose a friend that way

No one should lose a friend that way
No one should lose a friend that way
