Discover the story of the song > Coyotes – Bill Callahan

The protagonist sings that he is his partner's loverman. He talks about how coyotes are starting to approach their home, and mentions that his partner's dream is to be a coyote, which makes sense since that's what she used to be. The protagonist tries to warn his partner about danger, but he can't communicate with her properly. He ends up realizing that dreams are real and that they tend to stick together over many generations, which is why he has always and will always love her.
