Whenever she's weary, she climbs up hill 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 in me 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...) Born of a wanderer, I wandered 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.
