Wind In the Wire

I'd been riding fence all day
 Way up on the summer range
 Found a place to make my bed
 As the evening shadows spread
 Beyond the campfire light
 Through the stillness of the night
 Came the call of a coyote choir
 And the song of the wind in the wire
 As it strummed the rusted strand
 It sang of long forgotten things
 Many moons and many suns of the real Americans
 When the arrow and the bow stopped the reigns of buffalo
 And call of the coyote choir
 And you know the song of the wind in the wire
 --- Instrumental ---
 As the ghostly balladeer hypnotized me I could hear
 Bugle calls and battle cries, broken promises and lies
 The spirits of the plain still sing their sad refrain
 And the call of the coyote choir
 And the song of the wind in the wire
 Spirits of the plain still sing their sad refrain
 And the call of the coyote choir
 And the song of the wind in the wire...
