Prelude To The End Of The Game Lyrics - Singles - Sting

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
