White Fawn

[Verse]

A light in the dark split through the trees

Appearin' in part a legend to see

Born in the dirt, nursed in the dawn

Lying with wolves an American fawn



She wanted all that her brain would behold

Gardens of garland, diamonds and gold

She wanted all that her guts could digest

Taking what's worse and leaving what's best

But I still say



[Chorus]

Oh my white fawn

I'm the wild one I'll find you

Out of the zoo

I'm feasting on you one last time



Oh my sparrow

My heart so narrow for you only

I could love you

I could love you one last time



[Verse]

The day she ran away everybody knew

They said "gone is the legend" but the legend just grew

Out in the world she's catchin' drops of rain

Inside a hive of bees she's guardin' honey with stings



If I'd only obeyed my own advice

I would have never gone to her twice

But if I'd obeyed then I'd never have seen

Her light in the dark that was splitting

Through the trees



[Chorus]

Oh my white fawn

It's me the wild one I'll find you

Out of the zoo

I'm feasting on you one last time



Oh my sparrow

My heart so narrow for you only

I could love you

I could love you for all time
