[G]
[Am] [G] There once was a silver grey fox of great beauty who lived very deep in [A] the [Am] woods
[D] Afraid of the meadow where life once before treated her [G] worse than it should
And to think of the mountain beyond the green meadow did surely bring fear to [Am] her heart
[D] She'd heard the stories of all the [Am] great [D] hunters and shivered and cried [G] in the dark
Tired of living a life of dark shadows, the fox ventured out in [D] the [Am] light
[D] And rejoiced at the sound and the smell of the meadow while keeping her [G] shelter in sight
Then all at once such fear overcame her as a shadow passed over [Am] the sun
Till [D] she heard the [Am] cry [D] of the great hunting eagle, she knew it was [G] over and done
I am the eagle, the sweet soaring eagle, I've come to take [Am] you away
[D] High up the mountain past sparkling blue rivers and show you the place [G] where I stay
Please do not fear me for I will not harm you no matter what [Am] others may say
[D] Though it is true that our lives should not need a need of some friendship [G] today
Though she didn't know why, she accepted the offer and reluctantly climbed on [Am] his back
And [D] the woods [Am] and the meadow [D] were left far behind her, it seemed she would never [G] get back
Then the fox sensed a yearning deep within the great eagle and she felt something stir in [Am] her too
[D] Could she, the fox, fall in love with the eagle, and he fall in love with [G] her too?
Could this eagle be lonely and searching for someone to help him rule his [Am] domain?
[D] Had he ever had someone to love and protect him, bring him in out of [G] the rain?
The eagle spoke soft and his words were a wonder, in a voice touched with sadness [Am] it seemed
[D] Even though I must hunt in the name of [Am] survival, [D] I need not kill [G] all that I see
For I am the eagle, the sweet soaring eagle, I've come to take [Am] you away
[D] High up the mountain past sparkling blue rivers and show you the place where [G] I stay
Please do not fear me for I will not harm you no matter what others [Am] may say
[C]
[D] Though it is true that our lives should not meet, I need of some friendship [G] today
I [D] need of some [G] friendship today, I
[D] need of some love [G]
