We've Been Running

We've been running
Through the fields
The forests
We were young
We never cared
About those
Who told it wasn't love
Just because I'm a boy
And you're a cunning fox
But whenever I saw your eyes
Something stirred inside

And if they could have seen how
We spent those afternoons
And if they could have heard how
Your voice could sound blue
Each time I had to go back home
And leave you
"Give me time, give me time,
I'll tell them what I feel for you"

Why didn't I
On that sunny day
Find you at the gate
Waiting for me?
Did the hunter catch you
Or did you run from me?
Oh, how much I cried
Oh, how much I died

And if my self-esteem
Had to depend on you
Why did those mighty gods
Let you go?
And if my self-esteem
Had to depend on you
Why did those creatures
Allow it to be all through?

And if the sound of your blood
Flowing through you
Sometimes sounds like my name
I'm gonna come to you
And if the sound of your blood
Flowing through you
Sometimes sounds like my name
I'm gonna come to you
Tell me, old friend
Can I come to you?
