The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

[00:50.09] Tough of the track with the wind

[00:53.09] And the rain that's beating down on your back

[00:55.08] Your heart's beating loud

[00:58.10] And goes on getting louder

[01:00.10] And goes on even more till the sound is ringing in your head

[01:04.12] With every step you tread and every breath you take

[01:09.59] Determination makes you run, never stop

[01:14.35] Gotta win, gotta run till you drop

[01:16.84] Keep the pace, hold the race

[01:20.10] Your mind is getting clearer

[01:21.60] You're over halfway there

[01:23.10] But the miles, they never seem to end

[01:25.60] As if you're in a dream, not getting anywhere

[01:30.59] It seems so futile

[01:33.09] Run, on and on

[01:37.34] Run, on and on

[01:42.83] The loneliness of the long distance runner

[03:06.14] I've got to keep running the course

[03:11.14] I've got to keep running and win at all costs

[03:16.13] I've got to keep going, be strong

[03:20.89] Must be so determined and push myself on

[04:09.87] Run over stiles, across fields

[04:12.64] Turn to look at who's on your heels

[04:15.14] Way ahead of the field

[04:17.39] The line is getting nearer

[04:19.64] But do you want the glory that goes?

[04:21.64] You reach the final stretch, ideals are just a trace

[04:26.39] You feel like throwing the race

[04:28.89] It's all so futile

[04:31.39] Run, on and on

[04:35.64] Run, on and on

[04:40.89] The loneliness of the long distance runner
