lyrics

Lord knows it's gonna be a long way home
for at least the next few steps
I've been what I've been and I am what I am,
I take it with a feather in hand

Hey there friend, my feet are stuck on this coast,
I got a long way to breathe in
I'm doing my best, you know I'm making the most,
I hear you're doing the same
You sing from down south, a smile across your mouth,
you like life better down there
Well I ain't found mine,
I trust I will in good time

Lord knows it's gonna be a long way home
for at least the next few steps
I've been what I've been and I am what I am,
I take it with a feather in hand

With the long road ahead I figured I best depart,
wasn't going nowhere as I stood
But walking along the shore, your words were etched my heart,
painted into that sweet driftwood
Do I play your mind like you do mine,
does this feel like a trial?
I stood there sinking in the sand
with my feather in hand

Lord knows it's gonna be a long way home
for at least the next few steps
I've been what I've been and I am what I am,
I take it with a feather in hand

Hey there friend, my feet can dance on this coast
if my heart would just give in
The music's all around, I'm starting to love the sound,
but I ain't found the beat just yet
And even though my toes are tapping to the band
I find I'm still waiting on your hand
But it's long gone
I best be dancing on

Hey there friend, when will I see you again,
the time here passes slow
I want you to know that I love you so,
you can take that wherever you go
And Lord knows it's gonna be a long way home
for at least the next few steps
I've been what I've been
and I am what I am

about

Coyote Merlot Victoria, British Columbia

Raw songwriting and acoustic grit are woven with tight harmonies for a sound that is both heartfelt and feral. Adrian Esau (guitar, vocals) and Kaia Bryce (piano, vocals) unleash melodies that dance irreverently atop the piano in muddy boots, or spark a tender glow in your spirit. ... more
