"Mysterious Fox" #The Tavern

"Mysterious Fox" *as told by Jack Frost, the fox between worlds* [Intro] (tavern ambiance, people laughing, coughing, tankards spilling) *Spoken* "Shh, shh, he's starting...." (Clears throat) [Verse 1] I’ve walked the roads where no one goes, Where time runs strange and silence grows White fur cloaked in evening’s sigh, Purple paws where secrets lie I’ve watched the stars be born and fade, Heard dreams that even gods won’t say I cross through planes, both near and far— My tail’s a trail of falling stars [Chorus] I am the fox who’s never caught, I slip through shadow, flame, and thought I’ve seen your soul, both dark and bright, And still I greet you soft and light No home I need, no name I keep, I whisper truths you dream in sleep So if you feel the night grow still… It may be me, and always will [Verse 2] I’ve danced with spirits, chased the wind, And played where time begins and ends The bards have sung me into lore, But none have known what I am for Some call me frost, some call me flame, But none have ever said my name And those who try just meet my gaze— Then lose their way for several days [Chorus] I am the fox who’s never caught, I slip through shadow, flame, and thought I’ve seen your soul, both dark and bright, And still I greet you soft and light No home I need, no name I keep, I whisper truths you dream in sleep So if you feel the night grow still… It may be me, and always will [Bridge – spoken or half-sung] A flicker there, behind the tree… A laugh upon the twilight breeze Don’t chase me friend, don’t try to bind— I only come to free your mind [Final Chorus – slow and fading] I am the fox, the wandering flame, Not meant to stay, not meant to tame A shimmer lost between the folds… A soul who sees… and softly holds So sip your drink, and close your eyes— I’ll be the hush beneath the skies Mysterious, and ever near… The fox who walks without a fear [Bridge – spoken or half-sung] A flicker there, behind the tree… A laugh upon the twilight breeze Don’t chase me friend, don’t try to bind— I only come to free your mind [Final Chorus – slow and fading] I am the fox, the wandering flame, Not meant to stay, not meant to tame A shimmer lost between the folds… A soul who sees… and softly holds So sip your drink, and close your eyes— I’ll be the hush beneath the skies Mysterious, and ever near… The fox who walks without a fear
