    COYOTE is Catherine’s 7th full length studio album. The Vinyl version contains 11 songs that are reflective, heartbreaking and hopeful. Recorded and produced by Catherine at her
    home studio in PEI, COYOTE adds some of that traditional East Coast sounds of
    accordions, fiddles and bouzouki, featuring many members of the Island’s musical
    family that Catherine has long loved. The songs touch on themes of change,
    vulnerability, and letting yourself be seen; the good, the bad, the pretty, and the ugly.

lyrics

Sweet By and By

The wind is coming in now from the ocean
I’ve been sitting on this shoreline for days
Once I had the blues and once I lost them
I never did get the hang of all this change

But if you count the days like they are blossoms
And know it takes the cold to bring the heat
You can enter into any situation
And know it’s been the same since the very first heart beat

When I saw you on that day down at the local
I asked if you would come to see me sing
And you showed up like a prince among the pilgrims
You said you’d like to come and see me later in the spring

But the blossoms on the trees they are all fading
Summer it is fast approaching me
And I’ve got a list as long as that old highway
Of all the things that I must do and people I must see

But maybe in the summertime
When all the children are playing free and wild
You and I can sit outside
Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by

When I met you in the back room of the local
You were sitting with your sister and her son
It was Mother’s Day how kind of you to mention
You must miss your mother still who died when you were young

And I know you feel it too the winds are changing
And I’m sad that it is time for me to go
But you’re welcome anytime if you are lonesome
Just hop onto the next train that’s headed eastward bound

But maybe in the summertime
When all the children are playing free and wild
You and I can sit outside
Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by...
