|
The fox has done running
|
And the beast is at bay
|
We'd run them in circles
|
By the end of the day
|
|
They chased him through brambles
|
They chased him through the fields
|
They'd chased him for ever
|
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 forest
|
We ran through the streams
|
We ran through the heather
|
'Til we ran in our dreams
|
|
You were my lover
|
And I was your beau
|
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
|
|
The dogs are all worn out
|
And the horses are lame
|
The hunters and 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
|
|
They chased us through brambles
|
They chased us through fields
|
They'd chased us forever
|
But the heart would not yield
|
|
When the fox had done running
|
At the end of the day
|
I'm ready to answer
|
I'm ready to pay
|
|
And this rivers still running
|
And time will come soon
|
Carried to the great ocean
|
By the drag of the moon
|
|
|
