Lyrics
The Fox
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
