[Verse 1]
D
The fox had done running
Bm
And the beast is at bay
G A
He'd run them in circles
Bm
By the end of the day
G D
They chased him through bramble
Bm
They chased him through the fields
G
They could chase him forever
A Bm
But the fox would not yield
G D
And some saw her shadow
Bm
On the crest of a hill
G
And the hounds were distracted
A D
Away from the kill
G A Bm*
One day we'll reach a great ocean
G D A*
At the end of a pale afternoon
G A Bm
And we lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
G A
Controlled by the drag of the moon
[Verse 2]
D
We ran through the forests
Bm
And we ran through the streams
G A
We ran through the heather
Bm
Though we ran in our dreams
G D
And you were my lover
Bm7
And I was your beau
G
We ran like the river
A D
What else did we know?
G A Bm*
One day we'll reach a great ocean
G D A*
At the end of a pale afternoon
F#m G
And the dogs are all worn out
A Bm
And the horses all lame
G
Oh the hunters they're hunted
A D
At the end of the game
[Verse 3]
D
Our love was a river
Bm
A wild mountain stream
G A
In a tumbling fury
Bm
On the edge of a dream
G D
And they chased us through the brambles
Bm
And they chased us through the fields
G
They'd chased us forever
A D
But the heart would not yield
G
When the fox has done running
A Bm
At the end of the day
G
I'm ready to answer
D A
I'm ready to pay
Fm# G
And this river's done running
A Bm
And my time will come soon
D G
Carried to the great ocean
A D
By the drag of the moon
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
