Niki & The Dove - The Fox lyrics
Your rating:
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.
