Run With the Fox Lyrics
Now the season now the question
Time to breathe a moments grace
For the hunter and the hunted
Taking time to break the pace
Are you hopeful are you haunted
By the ghost of Christmas past
Face the future Undaunted
Step aside or take your chance
Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love comes and goes
Run with the fox
Every year the revolution
Won or lost before begun
While we thrive on mass confusion
Thus we walk before we run
Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love finally grows
Let us live to tell our story
Here on earth and out in space
Forward on the road to glory
History records the chase
Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat be glad and drink the wine
Leave your sadness by the river
Giving love and given time
Across the ice of frozen lakes
Run with the fox
Along the lanes a lover takes
Run with the fox
Beneath the moon a Christmas moon
Run with the fox
And sing a tune a dreamers tune
Run with the fox
Across the bridge of many ways
Run with the fox
On to the planes where dreamers play
Run with the fox
Time to breathe a moments grace
For the hunter and the hunted
Taking time to break the pace
Are you hopeful are you haunted
By the ghost of Christmas past
Face the future Undaunted
Step aside or take your chance
Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love comes and goes
Run with the fox
Every year the revolution
Won or lost before begun
While we thrive on mass confusion
Thus we walk before we run
Run with the fox
Into the wind on to the dawn of tomorrow
Run with the fox
Into the wild into the wild and the cold
Beware of the rocks
And be prepared prepare for love finally grows
Let us live to tell our story
Here on earth and out in space
Forward on the road to glory
History records the chase
Have yourselves that certain Christmas
Eat be glad and drink the wine
Leave your sadness by the river
Giving love and given time
Across the ice of frozen lakes
Run with the fox
Along the lanes a lover takes
Run with the fox
Beneath the moon a Christmas moon
Run with the fox
And sing a tune a dreamers tune
Run with the fox
Across the bridge of many ways
Run with the fox
On to the planes where dreamers play
Run with the fox

The whole Christmas album is absolutely glorious. I've been listening to it these past few days.
This song (the last on the album) to me sounds more New Year than Christmas, more like "get ready, the past is gone, and here's the present/future, all coming to you in Technicolor now, the bad and the good and all of it, and it ain't for the faint of heart".
The fox as the hunted (dogs baying at his heels) and yet running TO (chasing) the future, as much as running AWAY from (fleeing) the past - even understanding the bad to inevitably be found there as well. It's a really weird "hopeful" song.
