(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)



the rain let up when the sun went down



I was livin' in a sad old story



the moon didn't shine but the train was on time



and the fox looked down on the glory



the fox looked down on the glory



 



the mare went lame and the fox got blame



there were tracks leadin' down from the trestle



then someone said that the fox was dead



but no one spoke of the devil



no one spoke of the devil



(GUITAR & HARP STUFF w/cool bass line)



 



the winter turned spring the valley turned green



the fox burned red in the sunrise



the hawk got shot the thief got caught



and the fox stood still on the hillside



the fox stood still on the hillside



 



then you broke up and I broke down



we're all in the soul of the stranger



and I know now what you knew then



the fox just laughed at the danger



the fox just laughed at the danger



(KEYBOARD & HARP STUFF)
