I found the fox in the woods
She was cold and hungry
I gave her all that I could
I was sure that she loved me
And we were thick as thieves.
Through the winter I kept her warm
Fed her all she desired
When she told me in so many words
I was the one to save her life
And she would never forget
And I would never be left.
But then one day
I ran out of bread
And wood to keep the fire
And when I woke
I found she had fled
To the house down the river
And I cried all night
Because I had thought she was mine.
