Come down, come down to the laundry pool
Where the boy in the fox mask goes.
Where the fairies fly
And the organ grinds
Where the boy in the fox mask goes
What he does there no one knows.
By a curse transformed
Lost, alone, his spirit broken
He hides himself away
No one else must see
Running out of time
He knows the sky is falling
He has to let her know
Before she flees
Can't let her see my face
Not in this state
But it's not too late
I beg you just to wait
Another day
I'll find a way
Come down, come down to the laundry pool
With the boy who was once a man
He seeks a thief hiding in the East
An enchanted mask he stole
A sun of blackened gold.
Finding hope she weeps
Staring out her open window
A message, she received
Her heart was not betrayed
She really ought to flee
She knows the sky is falling
She reads his words and knows
He's coming home
I long to see your face
So I'll stay
Another day
I promise you I'll wait
But don't delay
No don't delay
Come down, come down to the eastern cave
Where the prancing thief resides
We fight our way on the end of days
To defeat the thieving knave
As the mask is drawn away.
Come down, come down to the laundry pool
As the sky draws ever near'r
His beloved weeps as she prays he keeps
His promise to return
His promise to return.
