a light in the dark split through the trees appearing in part a legend to see born in the dirt nursed in the dawn lying with wolves an american fawn she wanted all that her brain would behold gardens of garland diamonds and gold she wanted all that her guts could digest taking what's worse and leaving what's best but i still say
oh my white fawn i'm the wild one i'll find you out of the zoo i'm feasting on you one last time oh my sparrow my heart so narrow for you only i could love you i could love you one last time
the day she ran away everybody knew they said "gone is the legend" but the legend just grew out in the world she's catching drops of rain inside a hive of bees she's guarding honey with stings if i'd only obeyed my own advice i would've never gone to her twice but if i'd obeyed then i'd never have seen her light in the dark that was splitting through the trees
oh my white fawn it's me the wild one i'll find you out of the zoo i'm feasting on you one last time oh my sparrow my heart so narrow for you only i could love you i could love you for all time
