End Of The Game
Sting

The fox had done running

And the beast is at bay

He'd run them in circles

By the end of the day


They chased him through bramble

They chased him through the fields

They could chase him forever

But the fox would not yield


And some saw her shadow

On the crest of a hill

And 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 lay down our heads just like we were sleeping

Controlled by the drag of the moon


We ran through the forests

And we ran through the streams

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

What else did we know?


One day we'll reach a great ocean

At the end of a pale afternoon


And the dogs are all worn out

And the horses all lame

Oh the hunters they're 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


And they chased us through the brambles

And they chased us through the fields

They'd chased us forever

But the heart would not yield


When the fox has 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 my time will come soon

Carried to the great ocean

By the drag of the moon
