Lyrics

[00:55.29] The fox is done running
[00:59.90] And the beast is at bay
[01:04.41] He'd run them in circles
[01:07.50] By the end of the day
[01:11.77] They chased him through brambles
[01:15.87] They chased him through the fields
[01:20.37] They could chase it forever
[01:24.95] But the fox would not heal
[01:29.82] There was some sort of shadow
[01:33.73] On the crest of a hill
[01:38.35] And the hounds were distracted
[01:43.27] Away from the kill
[03:06.60][01:49.44] One day we'd reach a great ocean
[01:59.07] The end of a pale afternoon
[02:07.32] And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
[02:17.61] Towed by the drag of the moon
[02:30.59] We ran through the forest
[02:35.26] And we ran through the trees
[02:39.39] And we ran through the heather
[02:42.87] Though we ran in our dreams
[02:46.80] And you were my lover
[02:51.00] And I was your beau
[02:55.49] We ran like the river
[02:59.88] For what else did we know?
[03:15.77] At the end of a pale afternoon
[03:22.70] And the dogs are all worn out
[03:27.61] And the horses are lame
[03:31.65] All the hunters had hunted
[04:53.17][03:36.14] At the end of the day
[04:14.59] Our love was a river
[04:19.65] A wild mountain stream
[04:23.59] In a tumbling fury
[04:27.17] On the edge of a dream
[04:30.68] And they chased us through brambles
[04:34.79] And they chased us through the fields
[04:39.68] They could chase us forever
[04:44.20] But the heart would not heal
[04:48.89] When the fox is done running
[04:57.63] I'm ready to answer
[05:02.30] I'm ready to pay
[05:06.78] When this river's done running
[05:10.77] And my time will come soon
[05:15.56] Carried to the great ocean
[05:19.92] By the drag of the moon
