The fox is done running And the beast is at bay He'd run them in circles By the end of the day They chased him through brambles They chased him through the fields They could chase it forever But the fox would not heal There was some sort of shadow On the crest of a hill And the hounds were distracted Away from the kill One day we'd reach a great ocean The end of a pale afternoon And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping Towed by the drag of the moon We ran through the forest And we ran through the trees And 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 For what else did we know? At the end of a pale afternoon And the dogs are all worn out And the horses are lame All the hunters had hunted At the end of the day Our love was a river A wild mountain stream In a tumbling fury On the edge of a dream And they chased us through brambles And they chased us through the fields They could chase us forever But the heart would not heal When the fox is done running I'm ready to answer I'm ready to pay When this river's done running And my time will come soon Carried to the great ocean By the drag of the moon
