Foxes and Firebrands
First performed 12/7/97

The day that I met you
I knew right away
That something would happen
And I'd remember that day

You gave me two choices
But I could hardly decide
With your foxes and firebrands
Let loose in my mind

I once had a family
I once had a home
I once was a person
I could call my own

I once had excuses
For saving some face
But your foxes and firebrands
Unscrupulous waste

Now the jewels of autumn
Their colors revealed
The fruits on the branches
The generous fields

That's all unimportant
It all seems so slight
'Cause our foxes and firebrands
Are burning tonight
