The Sour Bend

[Intro] A forest sigh, a fox’s gaze Juicy dreams beyond the maze [Verse 1] Hungry paws pace the green and gold Grapes like stars just out of hold He backs up, charges, leaps for air Falls short dreams, aglow with glare [Chorus] If you can’t reach the sky, you blame the light If you can’t have the gold, you call it right I’ll tell the tale that fools only pretend What you deny becomes a sour bend [Verse 2] He dusts his coat, a stubborn grin “Not what I want?” he lies within The vines whisper, truth in thorny lace What’s out of reach becomes a bitter taste [Chorus] If you can’t reach the sky, you blame the light If you can’t have the gold, you call it right I’ll tell the tale that fools only pretend What you deny becomes a sour bend [Bridge] Hunger teaches, mirrors show Strength is knowing what we don’t know [Chorus] If you can’t reach the sky, you blame the light If you can’t have the gold, you call it right What you deny becomes a sour bend What you deny becomes a sour bend [Outro] Fox walks on, lesson in his mind Sometimes sour is the heart unkind
