Tough of the track, with the wind
And the rain that's beating down on your back
till the sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread, and every breath you take
makes you run, never stop
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop
just 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
Run over stiles, across fields
Turn to look at who's on your heels
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
Run, on and on Run, on and on
The Loneliness of the long distance runner.
