If only, if only, oh the fox sighs,

The dirt in my den were as soft as the skies

While the wolf waits above, hungry and lonely,

he cries to the moon,

if only if only


The fox in her den hears his somber tune

She leaves her safe place as he calls to the moon

 a comforting paw, for a mind distraught

A kind of salvation he couldn't of thought


The Wolf speaks to her, let's go far away

To a place that I know, where humans can't stay

Clean water, cool shade, where prey runs amok

A kind of salvation she couldn't have thought.


They run away, and then start to breed;

What was two lovers, a nice family,

Too beautiful children, a son and a daughter

Humans come and take them

Bring them to the slaughter


The wolf tells the fox that she must stay behind

As he go gets his kin, a father too kind

Just as she thought that she'd just been saved

The wolf disappeared, she'd have to be brave


He left in the mist, and didn't return

To confide in his warmth, this the fox yearned

And then she awoke, still in her bed,

Too Dazed to think straight, covered in sweat


And laid beside her, there was the wolf,

Her Lucid dream, it went out in a poof.

He brought her close, as she laid down;

Whispered in ear, I won't make a sound


She breathed out knowing, her secret was safe;

The realm of her thoughts, this demonic place.
