lyrics

CHORUS:
Darling, don’t give up on me yet,
I know that I am just a man,
Day is coming,
You wont regret it,
It will be here soon.

Oh the lion starved in winter,
He promised to keep you warm and fed
How he failed to deliver,
The warmth, the trust, the milk, the bread.

Now that lion lives in exile,
For his pride and his mistakes,
You deserved somebody better,
Not this shuffling disgrace…

CHORUS

That fox was always cunning,
Always watching as we slept,
When I was lost to frost that winter,
The Fox, he crept into our bed.

He turned your head with all his stories,
Spun your sad rags into silk,
He won the bellies of our children,
With warm wine and buttermilk.

CHORUS

Oh, please say that you’ll forgive me,
Oh, please say you’ll take me back,
I am, to you, so softly tethered,
The path to you is the well-worn track.

CHORUS

Elana Stone transports me to my favourite type of fantasy world - one sad, and wistful, but hoping for more. Her voice is gorgeous, and the guitar moody. foxesforsale
