Sparrow House - Foxes (Sighing Like A Furnace) lyrics

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
