  • Yes I am
    Your loverman
    Yes I am
    Your lover, lover, loverman

    The coyotes are getting
    Bolder
    They come to watch
    The dog sleep

    She sleeps later
    And later
    As she gets older
    And older

    In her dreams she is coyote
    Which of course is what she used to be
    A dream of a coyote
    Watching over you and me

    I tried to signal you of danger
    But my voice had not yet come through
    You were bent over, a peanut of a child
    A new flower on the pea vine

    They say never wake a dreamer
    Maybe that's how we die
    I realize now that dreams are real
    I wanted to tell you, we tend to stick together
    Down through the generations
    Up through the archives

    Holding hands through many lives
    In clusters or packs

    Or coyote bands
    That is how and why I love you now
    And have always and will always
    Love you now

    Yes I am
    Your loverman
    Yes I am
    Your lover, lover, loverman
    Yes I am
    Your loverman Writer/s: William Rahr Callahan
