1001 Nights — The Doe and the Wolf [Verse 1] She was slender as a doe, With a fawn’s wide, frightened eyes. He noticed her among her friends, And watched her silently Again and again from the shadows. His eyes were burning like a wolf’s, Wild fire beneath the night. Until one day their gazes met— And something in her trembled And yielded to his eyes. [Pre-Chorus] She knew it without a word, She felt it in her soul. She lowered down her trembling eyes, As if she had found her lord. [Chorus] Her body burned beneath his gaze, A fire she could not hide. She was burning, burning bright— And only the sea could drown the flame inside. She ran and ran into the dark, Through shadows cold and deep, Until the ocean kissed her feet And touched them with its silver lips. [Verse 2] She cast her clothes upon the sand And leapt into the blue, Like a slender, graceful mermaid Vanishing from view. But he would never let her go. He followed through the tide, Stroke by stroke, he swam behind her Beneath the moonlit sky. [Bridge] A flash of silver, A breathless cry. The moon looked down From the endless sky. A fleeting struggle— Then silence fell… The doe was caught By the wolf. [Final Chorus] But she did not die beneath his hands, She lived beneath his spell. The fire became a secret flame No ocean could dispel. She was the doe, He was the wolf, And night became their home. She was his prey… Not for one night. Forever.
