[length: 06:33]
[00:49.49]Tough of the track,
[00:51.60]With the wind,
[00:53.13]And the rain that’s beating down on your back.
[00:55.96]Your heart’s beating loud
[00:58.46]And goes on getting louder
[00:59.89]And goes on even more till the sound
[01:02.02]Is ringing in your head,
[01:04.68]With every step you tread,
[01:07.18]And every breath you take,
[01:09.66]Determination makes
[01:12.03]You run,
[01:13.24]Never stop,
[01:14.74]Gotta win, gotta run till you drop,
[01:17.28]Keep the pace,
[01:18.25]Hold the race,
[01:19.59]Your mind is getting clearer,
[01:21.29]You’re over halfway there but the miles
[01:23.53]Just never seem to end
[01:26.16]As if you’re in a dream,
[01:28.60]Not getting anywhere.
[01:31.17]It seems so futile.
[01:33.08]Run, on and on,
[01:37.91]Run, on and on,
[01:42.77]The loneliness of the long distance runner.
[01:52.92]
[03:06.10]I’ve got to keep running the course,
[03:11.05]I’ve got to keep running and win at all costs,
[03:16.14]I’ve got to keep going, be strong,
[03:21.15]Must be so determined and push myself on.
[03:26.80]
[04:09.07]Run over stiles, across fields,
[04:12.47]Turn to look at who’s on your heels,
[04:14.94]Way ahead of the field,
[04:17.87]The line is getting nearer but do
[04:19.87]You want the glory that goes,
[04:21.68]You reach the final stretch,
[04:24.13]Ideals are just a trace,
[04:26.43]You feel like throwing the race,
[04:28.88]It’s all so futile.
[04:30.86]Run, on and on,
[04:36.02]Run, on and on,
[04:41.07]The loneliness of the long distance runner.
[04:51.82]Run, on and on,
[04:56.96]Run, on and on,
[05:01.71]The loneliness of the long distance runner.
