charlatan in red(a fox’s wedding) lyrics
lost my little girl to the foxes
found her dress hanging on the briar;
suspended like a fruit beneath its collar
a tuft of fur as red as autumn fire

the hen house in the yard was torn to splinters
nothing left but feathers, bones, and blood
and by the shallow pool in the meadow
a trail of pawprints lead into the wood

so if you’re running through the rain
and the sun shines in the sky
keep running till that light is gone
and if they catch you by the eye
and smile their wicked smiles
keep running till you pass the dawn

i followed their tracks into the darkness
running blind through aspen, oak, and pine
bewildered by the blooming of their lanterns
foxfire strewn like breadcrumbs in a line

so if you’re running through the rain
and you fall down to all fours
remember what you’re running from
and if they take you to their lair
so deep under the ground
remember me and run, run, run!
and in a clearing in the forest
i saw before me that which i had feared
my daughter, a foxbride in the sunlight
her fur was wet with rain her face with tears

so if you wear your wedding dress for that charlatan in red
then you’re already lost, lost, lost
and when your bright coat starts to fade, and your kits come out to play
don’t let them steal another daughter away
