Sparrow House - Foxes (sighing Like A Furnace) lyrics

rate me

when i find you i will dance in your embrace

through the fences with the moon across your face

and when we fall into our winter den below,

when the earth begins to slow her spin

they'll know...

that we are foxes

we are coming home again,

barking insults to the hunter and the wind

and we'll escape them, though the fog may blind the sun

though the dogs behind us run, our time has come

once i was fixed in a memory:

she stretched her arms like a flower,

leaning my head toward the morning,

to shine with the sun by the hour

and i am hoping you'll remember how i smiled

curled up to you like a lover or a child

youre the letter i have carried through this war, with familiar pages worn, some pages torn

caught in the cold of december,

she took my hand in her sleep

kept it from boston to hartford (ooh, we all believed we could keep)

once i was fixed in a memory:

me with my eyes nearly closed,

she with her breath on the window,

sighing like a furnace to the snow<br />

<br />
