I don’t give a damn  
‘Bout my reputation  
I’ve never been afraid of any deviation  
An’ I don’t really care  
If ya think I’m strange  
I ain’t gonna change

Secretly I’ve been tailing you  
Like a fox that preys on a rabbit  
I had to get you and so I knew  
I’d have to learn your ways and habits

I wanna take you home, yeah  
I won’t do you no harm  
You’ve got to be all mine, all mine  
Ooh Foxy Lady  
Foxy, Foxy

Maybe you’ll get a replacement  
There’s plenty like me to be found  
Mongrels who ain’t got a penny  
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

And I don’t give a damn about a Greenback a-dollar  
Spend it fast as I can  
For a wailing song and a good guitar  
The only things that I understand, poor boy  
The only things that I understand

Changing moods and stranger feelings  
In my dealings with the world  
Faces that I’ve seen before am I sure  
Or has my brain turned

Thinking about things I don’t understand

Change changing places  
Root yourself to the ground  
Capitalize on this good fortune  
One word can bring you round  
Changes

Time may change me

And I can see you standing in your yard  
Tending the roses in your garden  
The wind is blowing through your golden hair  
And I will freeze this moment here in time  
I could live forever in your garden, oh yes  
Yes, I can

Winter time winds blue and freezin’  
Comin’ from northern storms in the sea  
Love has been lost, is that the reason?  
Trying desperately to be free

Come with me dance, my dear  
Winter’s so cold this year  
And you are so warm  
My wintertime love to be

</div>

In the bleak mid-winter frosty winds made moan  
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone  
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow  
In the bleak mid-winter, long ago

Angels and archangels may have gathered there  
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air  
But His mother only, in her maiden’s bliss  
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss

</div>

A spectral spirit kingdom rises  
In storm screens covered by ice  
Night emits its shadow  
And there’s no difference between ravens  
They have come for me - they will come to me  
To the cursed realms of the winterdemons

Until the day  
Until the world falls away  
Until you say there’ll be no more goodbyes  
I see it in your eyes  
Tomorrow never dies

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead  
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams  
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game “Existence” to the end  
Of the beginning, of the beginning

If I had a box just for wishes  
And dreams that had never come true  
The box would be empty  
Except for the memory of how  
They were answered by you

Looking out from my lonely room, day after day  
Bring it home, baby, make it soon  
I give my love to you

And when you ran to me, your  
Cheeks flushed with the night  
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight  
I held your hand

And when I awoke and felt you warm and near  
I kissed your honey hair with my grateful tears  
Oh, I love you, girl  
Oh, I love you

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight  
It never felt so good, it never felt so right  
And we’re glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife  
C’mon, hold on tight  
C’mon, hold on tight

Gazing at people some hand in hand  
Just what I’m going through they can’t understand  
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend  
Just what you want to be you will be in the end

And I love you  
Yes I love you  
Oh how I love you  
Oh how I love you
