The fox had done running And the beast is at bay He'd run them in circles By the end of the day
They chased him through bramble They chased him through the fields They could chase him forever But the fox would not yield
And some saw her shadow On the crest of a hill And 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 lay down our heads just like we were sleeping Controlled by the drag of the moon
We ran through the forests And we ran through the streams We ran through the heather Though we ran in our dreams
And you were my lover And I was your beau We ran like the river 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 They'd chased 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
