๐ Lyrics
Lost my little girl to the foxes
Found her dress hanging on the briar
Suspended like a fruit beneath its collar
A tuft of fur as red as autumn fire
The hen house in the yard was torn to splinters
Nothing left but feathers, bones, and blood
And by the shallow pool in the meadow
A trail of pawprints lead into the wood
If you're caught out in the rain
And the sun shines in your eyes
Keep running till that light is gone
And if they catch you by the eye
And smile their wicked smiles
Don't stop until you pass the dawn
I followed their tracks into the darkness
Running blind through aspen, oak, and pine
Bewildered by the blooming of their lanterns
Foxfire strewn like breadcrumbs in a line
If you fall down to the ground
Start running on all fours
Remember what you're running from
And if they take you to their lair
So deep under the ground
Remember me and run, run, run!
Oh, run
Remember me and run!
And in a clearing in the forest
I saw before me that which I had feared
My daughter, a foxbride in the sunlight
Her fur was wet with rain her face with tears
If you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red
Then you're already lost, lost, lost
And when your bright coat starts to fade
And your kits come out to play
Don't let them steal another daughter away
If you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red
Then you're already lost, lost, lost
When your bright coat starts to fade
And your kits come out to play
Don't let them steal another daughter away
Found her dress hanging on the briar
Suspended like a fruit beneath its collar
A tuft of fur as red as autumn fire
The hen house in the yard was torn to splinters
Nothing left but feathers, bones, and blood
And by the shallow pool in the meadow
A trail of pawprints lead into the wood
If you're caught out in the rain
And the sun shines in your eyes
Keep running till that light is gone
And if they catch you by the eye
And smile their wicked smiles
Don't stop until you pass the dawn
I followed their tracks into the darkness
Running blind through aspen, oak, and pine
Bewildered by the blooming of their lanterns
Foxfire strewn like breadcrumbs in a line
If you fall down to the ground
Start running on all fours
Remember what you're running from
And if they take you to their lair
So deep under the ground
Remember me and run, run, run!
Oh, run
Remember me and run!
And in a clearing in the forest
I saw before me that which I had feared
My daughter, a foxbride in the sunlight
Her fur was wet with rain her face with tears
If you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red
Then you're already lost, lost, lost
And when your bright coat starts to fade
And your kits come out to play
Don't let them steal another daughter away
If you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red
Then you're already lost, lost, lost
When your bright coat starts to fade
And your kits come out to play
Don't let them steal another daughter away
