The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner

The 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

Got to win got to run 'til you drop

Keep the pace hold the race

Your mind is getting clearer

You're over half way there

But the miles they never seem to end

As if you're in a dream

Not getting anywhere

It seems so futile



Run on and on

Run on and on

The lonliness 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've got to keep going be strong

Must be so determined and push myself on



Run over stiles across fields

Turn to look at who's on your heels

Way ahead of the field

The line is getting nearer but do

You want the glory that goes

You reach the final stretch

Ideals sre just a trace

You feel like throwing the race

It's all so futile
