Long Slow Distance Lyrics by Michael Franks
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Some sprint to snatch the prize inMy goal's the far horizonI guess I'm obsessedWith that long slow distance.The fleet of feet won't please youAll speed, they love and leave youNot me, as you seeI love long slow distance. Listen, my pulse beats strong and steady My pace won't stall when I hit the wall Others fall by the wayside, heat-exhausted But I'm no coward I'm solar-powered As long as I know that you'll be there with me Face to face when I break the tape For the kiss when we cross the finish line.Some play the tempo givenI hear a different rhythmDo you hear it too?For the long slow distance.My stride is smooth and easyYour touch can always lead meOff-route in pursuitOf some long slow distance.
