Under the Half Moon

lie with me
under the half moon tonight
stay close to the fire
and let those coyotes roam

see the stars
crowned in cottonwood
how they flicker on
as crickets keep the time

way out there
beyond where we can see
the sun is waiting
to rise over the plain

lie with me
under the half moon tonight
stay close to the fire
and let those coyotes roam
