The Sly Fox

[Verse] In the Highlands long and wide Where the shadows run and hide Through the heather swift and sly There's a fox with amber eye [Verse 2] In the morning misty hue He sneaks by without a clue Farmers whisper tales of fright Of the fox that roams the night [Chorus] Oh the sly fox oh so smart Steals your heart with silent art Through the glens and o'er the lands See his footprints in the sands [Verse 3] Cunning as the twilight's breeze Moves with grace between the trees Laughter echoes in the dusk Every step a hint of musk [Bridge] From the castle gates to town No one knows where he is bound With a flick he disappears Living on for many years [Chorus] Oh the sly fox oh so smart Steals your heart with silent art Through the glens and o'er the lands See his footprints in the sands
