The Fox Lyrics

I found a 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
then she told me in so many words
I was the one who saved 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 snide
