"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Undaunted.

Lindström, Fox in Winter Forest, 1876


RUN with the FOX

Now the season now the question
Time to breathe a moments grace
For the hunter and the hunted
Taking time to break the pace

Are you hopeful are you haunted
By the ghosts of Christmas past
Face the future undaunted
Step aside or take your chance

Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love comes and goes
Run with the fox

Every year the revolution
Won or lost before begun
While we thrive on mass confusion
Thus we walk before we run

Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love finally grows

Let us live to tell our story
Here on earth and out in space
Forward on the road to glory
History records the chase

Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat be glad and drink the wine
Leave your sadness by the river
Giving love and given time

Across the ice of frozen lakes
Run with the fox
Along the lanes a lover takes
Run with the fox
Beneath the moon a Christmas moon
Run with the fox
And sing a tune a dreamers tune
Run with the fox
Across the bridge of many ways
Run with the fox
On to the planes where dreamers play
Run with the fox

Chris Squire and Alan White
