The Fox Lyrics - Instinct - 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.
