She Was Always in Favour of Wild Things

from No Fool Like an April Fool by Robb Johnso

/

lyrics

The stars fell from heaven to shine in her eyes
& the wind made a home in her hair
She liked the day best when the sun rose to rise
When you looked there was no-one else there
She ran to the park & she’d swing on the swing
& she’open her arms to the sky
& she sat at the back as the school took your wings
& taught you how to not sing & fly

She was always in favour of wild things

From the top of the downs to the end of the pier
The night bus that knows the way home
One Friday comes round with his breath full of beer
& leaves her a child of her own

The light’s always on & the door’s never locked
& the silence grows deep as dark woods
The son grows a skateboard as quick as a fox
Bright Phoebus beneath his black hood

When the night’s gone to bed, & there’s no-one else there
She feeds the fox king from her window
& he lifts his proud head turning into thin air
When her son’s coming home like a shadow

The stars fell from heaven to shine in her eyes
& the wind made a home in her hair
She likes the world best when the nights gone to bed,
the king of the foxes comes out of thin air for her
