| Lyrics: | Harris)
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 till 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 till you drop,
Keep the pace,
Hold the race,
Your mind is getting
clearer,
You're over halfway there but the miles
Just never seem to end
As if you're
in a dream,
Not getting anywhere.
It seems so futile.
Chorus:
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'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 are just a trace,
You feel like throwing the race,
It's all so
futile.
Chorus:
Run, on and on,
Run, on and on,
The loneliness of the long
distance runner |
