The Loneliness of The Long Dis - Iron Maiden

The tough of the track

With the wind

And the rain thats beating down on your back

Your hearts beating loud

And goes on getting louder

And goes on even more til the

Sound is ringing in your head

With ebery 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

Youre over half way there

But the miles they never seem to end

As if youre 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 whos 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

Run on and on

Run on and on

The lonliness of the long distance runner

Run on and on

Run on and on

The lonliness of the long distance runner
