Fox on the Rails (A T.I.V. Original Celtic Folktale (650 followers party)

[Train sounds violin intro] [Verse 1] In the grass behind the line Little fox with gold-brown eyes He watched the iron beast roll by Past his meadow, past the field of rye Tail high, he made his choice One sure leap, no need for voice Paws landed on a steel floor; he held on tight As morning broke to pale blue light [Pre-Chorus] And the wheels said, hold on, hold on Past the hedges, past the dawn Every mile pulled wide his view Of a world he never knew [Chorus] Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Running faster than the silver gale Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Small heart, big tales (fox on the rails) [Verse 2] Then a village in the curve Red-roof smoke and a stone lane blur Old men waved from by the well Kids ran by, while wind touched his fur Carts and chickens, yards of thread White sheet lines and a baker's bread Fox leaned low as the windows flew Half-afraid as hope shone through [Pre-Chorus] And the wheels said, hold on, hold on Past the chimneys, past the lawn Every turn pulled back the veil Till the meadow felt small and pale [Chorus] Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Running faster than the silver gale Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Small heart, big tales (fox on the rails) [Instrumental] [Bridge] Then the land gave way to sand Salt wind rising over land The sky grew wide as a lifted sail And the train reached the waiting bay There he saw it, blue and far More than any dream or star The tide rolled in, the tide rolled out Like the whole world breathed about [Final Chorus] Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Running faster than the silver gale Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Small heart, big tales Fox on the rails, fox on the rails He found how far the horizon dwells Fox on the rails, fox on the rails Meadow fox, ocean tales (fox on the rails)
