Redribbon Foxes Lyrics - Oh Blue Christmas - A Fine Frenzy

There's snow on your collar, boy 

There's snow on the bench 

There's snow on the sleeping grave 

And the crooked fence 

And if you've been crying 

With my hand on my chest 

I swear I'll never tell 

The town is aglow with lights 

The carolers sing 

You sister won't sleep tonight 

For the morning brings 

That old happy Christmas 

You came here to find it 

I did as well 

For joy doesn't come in boxes 

Nor peace in a heavy watch 

Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught 

But the search it never stops 

The son of a holy man 

You dream of the saints 

So thin with your poet hands 

And your eyes of flame 

And I'd like to kiss you 

Full on the mouth 

I don't care if you tell 

For love doesn't come in boxes 

Nor truth in a crowded shop 

Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught 

But the search it never stops 

For faith doesn't come in boxes 

Nor God in your silver cross 

Those red ribbon foxes are not so easy caught 

But the search goes on and on 

The search it never stops
