The Fox

I wait till everyone`s asleep Then out into the night I creep No one can see me now Or hear me running, soundlessly The moon`s the only light I need To search for food, young ones to feed But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way`s not clear I`m trapped on the outside Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Moonlight save me, moonlight save me Unearthly fear, it grips my skin Unearthly sound, the hunt begins I hear excited cries But dare not look from where I`m hiding The multi-coloured humans ride Soon they will find me where I hide The brown and white tormentors Begin to howl and then I`m running Moonlight save me I cut across the trail I left five miles before One chance to throw them off my scent but I`m not sure An elder told me it had worked sometime before My heart is beating like a drum I make the ridge, but can`t go on I turn to face my death But nothing comes to stop me breathing Down in the clearing now I see They`re searching all around for me Confusion everywhere But I am safe up here, I`ve won, I`ve won, I`ve won, I`ve won, I`ve won
