Yours for the Keeping by The Mae Trio Lyrics
A young girl walks down a lonesome road
Until she comes to a fork in the road
She doesn't know which way to go
An old wise owl comes to give her some advice
He says it doesn't matter which way you go
Left or right just go the road you know
Before she made her way down that well-traveled road
She meets a young fox on her way
He asks what did that old owl say
The old wise owl said to go the road I know
The fox yelled no, no, no, go the other way
She asked why would i do what you say
The fox sang, go there tomorrow and you'll see
Ask again tomorrow and the answers they will be
Yours for the keeping
For the keeping
The young girl heads down the road she doesn't know
The path's not clear, no one's been down here for years
It's getting dark, she tries to calm her fears
Why, oh, why didn't I go the road I know
I would have been well on my way back home by now
Instead I must go on, fox take a bow
It's dark and cold, she looks to find a place to spend the night
She rests awhile and curls up tight
The stars above provide the only light
When she awakes the sun is shining up above
The birds they sing along
To the words of the fox's song
They sing, go there tomorrow and you'll see
Ask again tomorrow and the answers they will be
Yours for the keeping
For the keeping
The young girl walks down a lonesome road
Until she comes to a bend in the road
With open eyes, she finds her way home
Would you go the owl's way home
The only road you've ever known
Well the girl sings no, no, no, no
She sings no, no, no, no
Would you go the owl's way home
The only road you've ever known
Well the girl sings no, no, no, no
She sings no, no, no, no
Until she comes to a fork in the road
She doesn't know which way to go
An old wise owl comes to give her some advice
He says it doesn't matter which way you go
Left or right just go the road you know
Before she made her way down that well-traveled road
She meets a young fox on her way
He asks what did that old owl say
The old wise owl said to go the road I know
The fox yelled no, no, no, go the other way
She asked why would i do what you say
The fox sang, go there tomorrow and you'll see
Ask again tomorrow and the answers they will be
Yours for the keeping
For the keeping
The young girl heads down the road she doesn't know
The path's not clear, no one's been down here for years
It's getting dark, she tries to calm her fears
Why, oh, why didn't I go the road I know
I would have been well on my way back home by now
Instead I must go on, fox take a bow
It's dark and cold, she looks to find a place to spend the night
She rests awhile and curls up tight
The stars above provide the only light
When she awakes the sun is shining up above
The birds they sing along
To the words of the fox's song
They sing, go there tomorrow and you'll see
Ask again tomorrow and the answers they will be
Yours for the keeping

The young girl walks down a lonesome road
Until she comes to a bend in the road
With open eyes, she finds her way home
Would you go the owl's way home
The only road you've ever known
Well the girl sings no, no, no, no
She sings no, no, no, no
Would you go the owl's way home
The only road you've ever known
Well the girl sings no, no, no, no
She sings no, no, no, no
