Iron Maiden - The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner lyrics

The tough of the track<br>With the wind<br>And the rain that's beating down on your back<br>Your heart's beating loud<br>And goes on getting louder<br>And goes on even more 'til the<br>Sound is ringing in your head<br>With ebery step you tread<br>And every breath you take<br>Determination<br>Makes you run never stop<br>Got to win got to run 'til you drop<br>Keep the pace hold the race<br>Your mind is getting clearer<br>You're over half way there<br>But the miles they never seem to end<br>As if you're in a dream<br>Not getting anywhere<br>It seems so futile<br><br>Run on and on<br>Run on and on<br>The lonliness of the long distance runner<br><br>I've got to keep running the course<br>I've got to keep running and win at all costs<br>I've got to keep going be strong<br>Must be so determined and push myself on<br><br>Run over stiles across fields<br>Turn to look at who's on your heels<br>Way ahead of the field<br>The line is getting nearer but do<br>You want the glory that goes<br>You reach the final stretch<br>Ideals sre just a trace<br>You feel like throwing the race<br>It's all so futile
