Prelude To The End Of The Game

The fox is done running

And the beast is at bay

We've run them in circles

By the end of the day

We chased them through bramble

We chased them through the fields

We could chase them forever

But the fox would not heel

And some saw her shadow

On the crest of a hill

All the hounds are distracted

Away from the kill

One day we'll reach a great ocean

At the end of a pale afternoon

And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping

Controlled by the drag of the moon

We ran through the forest

And we ran through the streams

And we ran through the heather

Though we ran in our dreams

And you were my lover

And I was your boy

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 howling

And the horses are late

All the hunters have hunted

Through 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 bramble

And they chased us through the fields

They could chase us forever

But our heart would not yield

And the fox is 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 time will come soon

Carried to the great ocean

By the drag of the moon
