Is What It Is (The Coyote Burial)

Nahko and Medicine for the People

Let them feast coyote meat
I don't know how long hes been dead to me
Ended a martyr before I came home
Tell my mother, I didn't die alone

I found you

Is what it is, we say
But no one should lose a friend that way
Is what it is, we say
But no one should lose a friend that way

No one should lose a friend that way

Man in the maze or is it in me?
I heard that vulture pray before he eats
"I'll make it right, my friend
This ain't goodbye, my friend
Climb up that ladder, I'll see you again."

Please tell my love, this ain't the end
Honey, ain't nothing ever really dead
I hear my sisters singing me home
Tell my father I didn't die alone

I found you
I found you

Is what it is, we say
But no one should lose a friend that way
Is what it is, we say
But no one should lose a friend that way

No one should lose a friend that way

No one should lose a friend that way
