The Fox - Niki & The Dove

Whenever she’s weary, she climbs uphill

And crosses a dark trail and there she finds the fox

In the wooden glade

She lies by a rock and she’s red

She smells of violets and picea

She flicks her ears as I whisper

I’ve grown a handsome tall tree, mother

And I want to bear a fruit for you

And I’ve carried your fears and your hopes, father

It’s so heavy on my back, oh you should know

Catch some sleep

I wanna find the eagle’s nest

Oh take me with you, (Oh oh…)

And I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this

And I’m ready, (Oh oh…)

It doesn’t leave me, I’ve been up all night

They call me crazy, (Ooh ooh…)

But I wanna see what the sky looks like

From your view, (Oh oh…)

But I saw your face carved in clay

And I saw (she saw) it outlined against

A purple sky, it goes loud and deep, beneath

Loud and deep,

My home is on that cliff

I wanna find the eagle’s nest

Oh take me with you, (Oh oh…)

I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this

And I’m ready, (Oh oh…)

Whenever I wonder what I wanted all my life,

They never knew me, (No oh oh, no oh oh)

I wanna see what the sky looks like

From your view, (Oh oh…)

I’ve grown a handsome tall tree, mother

And I want to bear a fruit for you

And I’ve carried your fears and your hopes, father

I’ll conquer them for me and you

I’ve grown a handsome tall tree, mother

And I want to bear a fruit for you

And I’ve carried your fears and your hopes, father

I will conquer them for me and you.
