Fox Fire
Like
a fox fire softly glowing in the stillness of the night
In
the green grass of the marshland where I first beheld its light
It
was almost like a dream fire, for it burned so quickly there
In
the silence of the evening, amid the stillness of the air
In
the green grass of the marshland lived a fair and tender one
Beside
the still waters, our lives had just begun
And
the sweet love that she gave me, set a fire within my soul
Like
a thousand tiny fox fires that burned with a single flame of gold
'Twas
a dark night in the swampland when she disappeared from sight
And
the sheriff and the posse, they searched all through the night
But
we never, ever found her, though we searched and searched again
Like
a fox fire in the moonlight, she was lost and never seen again
Like
a fox fire softly burning, like a candle glowing in the dark
Was
the love light that she gave me, that died in the quicksand of my heart
