Lyrics
The fox had done running And the beast is at bay He'd run them in circles By the end of the day And they chased him through brambles And they chased him through the fields And they could chase him forever But the fox would not yield And some saw her shadow On the crest of a hill When the hounds were distracted Away from the kill One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon And we'll lay down our heads just like we were sleeping And be towed by the drag of the moon We ran through the forests And we ran through the streams We ran through the heather 'Til we ran in our dreams And you were my lover And I was your beau And we ran like the river For what else did we know? One day we'll reach a great ocean At the end of a pale afternoon And the dogs are all worn out And the horses all lame Oh the hunters they're hunted At the end of the game Our love was a river A wild mountain stream In a tumbling fury On the edge of a dream And they chased us through the brambles And they chased us through the fields And they could chase us forever But the heart would not yield When the fox has done running At the end of the day I'm ready to answer I'm ready to pay And this river's done running And my time will come soon Carried to the great ocean By the drag of the moon
