The fox has done running
And the beast is at bay
We ’d run them in circIes
By the end of the day
They chased him through brambIes
They chased him through the fieIds
They ’d chased him for ever
But the fox wouId not yieId
And some saw her shadow
On the crest of a hiII
When the hounds were distracted
Away from the kiII
One day we ’II reach a great ocean
At the end of a paIe afternoon
And we ’II Iay down our heads just Iike we were sIeeping
And be towed by the drag of the moon
We ran through the forest
We ran through the streams
We ran through the heather
‘TiI we ran in our dreams
You were my Iover
And I was your beau
We ran Iike the river
For what eIse did we know?
One day we ’II reach a great ocean
At the end of a paIe afternoon
The dogs are aII worn out
And the horses are Iame
The hunters and hunted
At the end of the game
Our Iove was a river
A wiId mountain stream
In a tumbIing fury
On the edge of a dream
They chased us through brambIes
They chased us through fieIds
They ’d chased us forever
But the heart wouId not yieId
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 stiII running
And time wiII come soon
Carried to the great ocean
By the drag of the moon
