"The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner"
Tough of the track with the wind
And the rain that's beating down on your back
Your heart's beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more 'til the sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread and every breath you take
Determination makes you run, never stop
Gotta win, gotta run 'til you drop
Keep the pace, hold the race
The mind is getting clearer
...
You're over halfway there
But the miles, they never seem to end
As if you're in a dream, not getting anywhere
Run, on and on
Run, on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at all costs
I
Must be so determined and push myself on
Run over stiles, across fields
Never give up...
Turn to look at who's on your heels
Run, on and on
Run over stiles, across fields
But the miles, they never seem to end
