Runner
by Mannfred Mann
Through the nightthrough the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
See the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum
Through the nightthrough the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line, to pass on the flame
Sun come upsun go down
Hear the beat, see the sweat on the ground
Watch your step, keep your cool,
Though you can't see what's in front of you
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line, to pass on the flame, pass on the flame
Through the nightthrough the dawn,
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back, you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line
And it's underneath the moonlight, passing some;
Still your heart beats in the moonlight like a drum
And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the line
