week sixtyfive: fox hymn

fox hymn

i wanted more from the songs i write
and that just made them less
i wanted more from my whole life
and that just made it less

it dawns on me that i’m starving for
joyful loving sounds
i’m out in the woods lost and alone
show me the door to your house

show me the door to your house

singing out won’t pay the bills anymore
singing out won’t pay the bills anymore
but i’ve got you
least i used to
show me the door
show me the door and i’ll walk through

sweet eyed fox in the corduroy weeds
with a big old fish in his mouth
i still want a little more than i need
show me the door to your house

look at us tangled in the morning mist
far from the talkers of town
every day could reveal like this
if i knew the way to your house

show me the door to your house

singing out won’t pay the bills anymore
singing out won’t pay the bills anymore
but i’ve got you
least i used to
show me the door
show me the door
i had you
you had me too
show me the door
show me the door and i’ll walk through
