lyrics

Now everybody knows the reason for The Fall,
when woman tempted man in Paradise’s hall.
This woman, she tempted me and she took me for a ride,
and, like the weary fox, I need a place to hide.

She walked through the corn leading down to the river;
her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor man could give her
and left him to die like a fox on the run.

It was many years ago, but it feels like yesterday,
when she led me through the corn on that fateful summer day.
I saw the sunlight in her hair; I saw the promise in her eyes;
and I didn’t even care that her words of love were lies.

She walked through the corn leading down to the river;
her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor man could give her
and left him to die like a fox on the run.

Come raise your glass of wine and fortify your soul;
We’ll talk about the world and the friends we used to know.
I’ll illustrate a girl who wandered through my past.
She didn’t care to stay; the picture cannot last.

She walked through the corn leading down to the river;
her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor man could give her
and left him to die like a fox on the run.
