Summer Wind 03:00
Summer wind last hope to guide me home when all my sight has gone to staring at the sun blinded by the shining I saw stars before I realized the day ended Drifting from shore in uncertain water will the wind be strong and keep me gone? One if by land but divided by sea without you to love you's to lose myself should have known by now I'm just a sail in your sound maybe now I know that I'll never come back Summer breeze blew in to comfort me when all my remedies had drifted out to sea led me to the shallow water breathed in me a song to carry through Drifting from shore in uncertain water will the wind be strong and keep me gone One if by land but divide by sea without you I love you and lose myself should have known by now I'm just a sail in your sound maybe now I know that I'll never come back

Send a message to my love from distant moons the message comes I've traveled deep into the heart of mystery but just the thought of him brings me home sure as the journey's long Send a message to my love thought the nights are often cold and seldom do I see the light of brighter days but just the thought of him keeps me warm much like the golden sun Send a message to my love for all the battles won there never seems to be a heartfelt victory when i am worlds from the man that I love Sure as the journey's long as sure as the journey's long the thought of him brings me home

Trixster 02:21
Stay for awhile stay for a lifetime if that is what you like stay strong stay proud say you love me but don't say it out loud Cause trixsters do what trixsters do he tricked me once he'll trick you too be careful when you love a man with an arrowhead in his hand cross the sky across my face brush the teardrops from my eye fare you well my lonesome dove I hope you find it the life you're dreaming of cause trixsters do what trixsters do he tricked me once he'll trick you too be careful when you love a man with an arrowhead in his hand

oops I didn't mean to do it but I did now I gotta claim some ownership for what I've done and who I've shunned butterflies free inside my guilty tummy have reduced me to a mound of insecurity if I come clean will he love me? Suddenly secret's out in my heart there's shame there's doubt pack my bags and I'll leave you'll be a better man without me oops I didn't mean to do it but I did I made this bed I'm lying in so will you please accept my humblest apologies? Oops I didn't mean to see it but I did when I walked into the lion's den and there you were enraptured in her to my sheer and vast humiliation you revealed your shameless indiscretion right before my eyes…surprise surprise suddenly secret's out in my heart there was always doubt pack my bags and we're through I'll be much better off without you oops you, you didn't mean to do it but you did you made this bed you're lying in so will you please except all prior apologies?

I thought I died today but woke up in a curious state thats when it occurred to me I fall in love with everything I hate I bet myself I'd lose the bet in doing so I won it instead by a double negative life has got a funny way of turning around Oh if what it is is all there is then maybe it isn't all what it seems but if it seems, well then I guess it is I dreamed I kissed my one true love then married him while dreaming that dream then after ever after came the bride woke up and left me sleeping I said dear bride how could this be if you are me and I am sleeping? I cannot not be dreaming life has got a funny way of turning you out Oh if what it is is all there is then maybe it isn't all what it seems but if it seems, well then I guess it is I cannot not rely on my own instincts I can't not trust them to be true wondering if he doesn't love me not wondering if he took the best of what I got I'm wondering if he doesn't love me not wondering if he took the best of what I got I thought I died today but woke up in a curious state thats when it occurred to me I fall in love with everything I hate I bet myself I'd lose the bet in doing so I won it instead by a double negative life has got a funny way of turning around oh if what it is is all there is then maybe it isn't all what it seems but if it seems then I guess it is oh what I didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know oh what i didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know oh what I didn't not know back then when I didn't know that I didn't not know Oh what I didn't not know back then.

Shoes 03:06
If I lose my way on this walk we take will you shine like a light in the dark? And if you disagree with my philosophy its alright just as long as we walk I don't care what people say I've learned to let it be I know you got your issues but you ain't got one with me I don't mind opinions or a different point of view but you never walked a mile wearing my worn out shoes What makes us beautiful are all the colors Don't you think we're beautiful? Look at all the colors I been here and I been there and I've been round the world seen all kinds of people wave their flags from all over you might call me simple cause I have this basic view people don't walk differently they just wear different shoes What makes us beautiful are all the colors Don't you think we're beautiful? Look at all the colors Don't you think we're beautiful?

They were the first ones to stand by the fire watching it fan then watching it die they never dreamed of the trouble they'd cause when the fire burned out and the west had lost How do we take it back to where it began as simpler men? How do we make our way from castles of steel with wheels made of clay? They held their flag up all tattered and worn praying for mercy to a prince crowned in thorns they never dreamed that it end this way while waiting for rapture in a twist of fate How do we take it back to where it began as simpler men? How do we make our way from castles of steel with wheels made of clay Wooooooooo hoo We were the first ones to stand by the fire fanning the flames we watched it grow higher…

Unbreakable 04:24
Dark Days Fell upon us in a shock wave angry mama crying what did you do what this world has come to Emergency! Long road paved in sorrow made of fool's gold we fought each other for a piece of that dream for fortune and greed Reality: We lost some friends today Now we got hell to pay but we can fly away we can fly away we can fly cause our wings are unbreakable Sun shines on empty houses over land mines across the desert shining into dark caves the lives that we save might be our own Last hope we tread upon it like a tight rope all depending on the choices we make future at stake for humanity we lost our heads today now we got hell to pay we can fly away we can fly away we can fly cause our wings are unbreakable

about

Maya Love Coppola’s sparkling, soulful debut How Coyote Stole Fire is a valentine to heartbreakers, tricksters, even tempestuous Mother Nature herself. With producer and fellow multi-instrumentalist Robert “Chicken” Burke (The Duke & the King), she mixes classic pop melodicism, slippery funk, and edgy rock, weaving tales borne of hard-won experience, as a lover, a beloved, and citizen of a world given to both beauty and chaos. Coppola’s remarkably versatile voice is whisper-soft one moment, confiding and tender, then brazen and dizzyingly powerful the next, elemental like the “Summer Wind” she sings of in the first track, carrying listeners to a distant shore, a boudoir, or the dance floor. Through it all, she and Burke wrap everything in uncommonly lush harmony, part Beach Boys, part P-Funk.
