The Fox Who Danced For The Moon(A T.I.V. Tavern Tale (38k listens party)

[Violin intro] [Verse 1] Under the thorn and briar Sat a fox with a red coat of flame He left his pawprints in the dew And never once felt shame He tipped his head to the heather He bared his bright white teeth Then spun in a circle like a falling leaf On the dark hill beneath [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Come up, come up You silver-eyed Moon" He said, "Night lift your cloak And bring light to my sight" [Chorus] Dance, little fox, dance Pull the moon up high Dance, little fox, dance Bring it to the sky (Bring it to the sky) Dance, little fox, dance Till the black hills gleam Dance, little fox, dance And wake the sleeping streams [Verse 2] He struck the ground with quick red feet In circles, sharp and grand The bracken clapped, the river laughed Along the stony dark land He twirled past elder berries Past the foxglove by the gate And every star above him Shook loose a bit of fate [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Come up, come up You pale and clever fire" He said, "Climb the darkened sky And rise a little higher" [Chorus] Dance, little fox, dance Pull the moon up high Dance, little fox, dance Bring it to the sky (Bring it to the sky) Dance, little fox, dance Till the black hills gleam Dance, little fox, dance And wake the sleeping streams [Bridge] Then thin as a silver apple The moon began to climb One brave little fox, Turned the dark to gold In a single breath of time, So, the story goes! The owls all cried "Aye!" The grass bowed low And the whole wide world went spinning While the bight moon glowed. [Final Chorus] Dance, little fox, dance Pull the moon up high Dance, little fox, dance Bring it to the sky (Bring it to the sky) Dance, little fox, dance Now the night can sing Of the brave little fox Who's dance made the moon Rise each spring [Outro] Oh, little fox Run wild, run free You brought the moon To the sky every year So, dance little fox dance! Dance, little fox, dance!
