Coyote Grace - Ugly Mother lyrics

I wear my body like the finest leather Worn down through years and years of snow And the desert wind, and the sand and the sun blown like Bees in a blanket, all around they go I wear my heart like a shining locket On a glittering chain that's hung there on my chest So everybody knows it's there, I got one But what's inside is anyone's guess I wear my mind like a face on a chess piece Like a room full of clocks, they're all keeping they're own time For centuries of life to remember, like a room To a door, to a lock, to a key of mine CHORUS: But have you seen Me lately? I bear my soul like a raging river Like the turn of the tide that moors boats on the shore Like a bu*terfly going round in the garden, like the Curl of a snake tail in the gra** by the garden door I bear my love like a knife gone sheathless With an ivory handle wrapped tight in a fist Like a make believe, like a sleepy blue ocean Like the call of coyotes with eyes wide and gleaming, they insist [Chorus] I bear myself like a baby born on a Sunday Like a hungry runaway who's been running his whole life Like a MacIntyre, roll on down the highway Don't stop on no byway, don't keep me no wife Like a long lost love letter Like the rain getting wetter Like a so long, like an old song Like a trailer 'round the east pond Like a cannon ball from the morning Like a shipwreck, like a warning A slow ride from the West side Like the whole goddamn ferry ride To an island right before the world ends And a train coming round the west bend Saying, ain't you coming to the old place? Ain't you flying up around the powerlines? Calling to me from the morning, through the clouds And the birds and the trees and the sky, I fly And the wineyards stretching out before me And the barns and the hills and the tracks and the case People living all over the place and a lover Kissing all over the face, and the laughing And the crying and the singing and the trying and the dying And the wise, wise, wise old eyes Earth, and the stars, and the sky Well, who am I? Who am I? Who am I?
