Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

I woke up one morning in Chicago and wrote this down. I then recorded it in a small cassette ecorder. I was anxious about an up-coming flight. I hadn’t flown in 4 years – I’d given it up. It was September 8th, 2001 and the next morning I flew into New York City. I was scheduled to fly out 9-11. (from Tim Grimm's website)

Lyrics

    Coyote’s Dream

    Last night I had a dream- it started with a coyote’s scream
    Maybe you’ve heard a coyote’s cry- sounds just like a baby’s gonna die
    Out of these hills there rolled a mist- a fog so thick you could drown in it
    Around the world, all the lights went out- like something in the Bible was going down
    Nothin’ would work if you plugged it in- nothin’ would start or drive again
    Nothin’ would shoot, nothin’ would fly- all the little screens went dead inside

    But the sun still shone and the wind still blew
    Nothin’ had changed between me and you

    Men in business suits who had never prayed-
    cursed the Lord and spoke his name in vain
    All day long you could hear their screams- thinkin’ they were livin’ in a devil’s dream
    I’ll tell you what God had done- he’d leveled the field for everyone
    He’d gotten tired of the few runnin’ the game- left the rich and poor all the same
    He’d gotten tired of the killin’- tired of the waste- tired of the smoke blown in his face
    Tired of the children eating alone- tired of the nurserys and the old folks homes

    But the sun still shone and the wind still blew
    Nothin’ had changed between me and you

    The grass grew long, the clouds rolled in- life in the meadows got wild again
    Water in the streams got clear to drink- with nothin’ plugged in you had time to think
    Yeah, time to think, time to sigh- time to kiss your babes goodnight
    Time to sit on the old porchswing and look out on the world as a holy thing
    Last night I had a dream- it started with a coyote’s scream
    He was over the hill, maybe a mile- I opened my eyes and began to smile

    But the sun still shone and the wind still blew
    Nothin’ had changed between me and you
