Niki & The Dove

Lyrics to The Fox

Whenever she's awake

She climbs a hill,

And crosses a dark trail

And there she finds the fox

In a wooded glade.

She lies by a rock and she's red.

She smells of violets and vetiver

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 have carried your fears and your hopes, father

They're so heavy on my back, oh you should know.

Catch some sleep.

I want to find the eagles nest, oh take me with you.

And I've been waiting a lifetime for this, and I am ready.

Just believe me, I've been up all night, they call me crazy.

But I want to see what the sky looks like from your view.

But I saw your face carved in clay, and I saw (she saw)

It outlined against a purple sky,

It goes loud and deep in me, loud and deep.

My home is on that cliff.

I want to find the eagles nest, oh take me with you.

And I've been waiting a lifetime for this, and I am ready.

Forever wanderer, I wandered all my life, they never knew me.

I want to what the sky looks like from your view.

I've grown a handsome tall tree, mother

And I want to bear a fruit, for you.

And I have carried your fears and your hopes, father

I'll conquer them, for me and you.

I've grown a handsome tall tree, ooooohh

And I want to bear a fruit, for you.

And I have carried your fears and your hopes, father

I will conquer them, for me and you.
