about

The second single from Hymns from a Backwood

-----

lyrics

Don’t let the winds blow you over
When the signs of the stars are on your shoulders.
And don’t let your hair hide your eyes,
Cause I swear I saw the fox steal by.

And the blackbirds singing those songs are sad,
Cause you stole their hearts and you wont give ‘em back.

Change is on the leaves in autumn,
And all our sad ghosts are forgotten,
But that sweet summer wine is on my lips,
And I’ve learned the words to your favorite hymn.

And the foxtails are there waving in the hills,
Now my chin’s made a mark on the window sill.
And I’m watching the fox with the rooster’s quill,

And that proud wind is blowing with a chill.
