Lyrics
Red Squirrels
by J. Person and Nadeen Preedy / 2011
Red Squirrels burn out quick
Busily gathering sticks
You might say that their lives are like wicks and
Red Squirrels burn out quick
Who knows where the Red Squirrel roams
Running round searching for cones to put away for the winters cold
Who knows where the Red Squirrel roams
Winter snow falls down
Covering his hole in the ground. He climbs a tree so that he can see for miles and miles around
He sees an eagle up there soaring so high in the air
He leaps from the tree but the eagle can see as he comes diving down
BRIDGE: He only has 30 months to live
When life is short you do your very best to gather leaves and twigs to build your nest, and raise your little squirrels so you exist forevermore.
Red Squirrels burn out quick
Busily gathering sticks
You might say that their lives are like wicks and
Red Squirrels burn out quick
TAG: You might say that their lives are like wicks and
Red Squirrels burn out quick
