Long Slow Distance lyrics

Artist  : Michael Franks 
Song : Long Slow Distance
 
Some sprint to snatch the prize in
My goal's
the far horizon
I guess I'm obsessed
With that long slow distance.
The fleet of
feet won't please you
All speed, they love
and leave you
Not me, as you see
I 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
given
I hear a different rhythm
Do you
hear it too?
For the long slow distance.
My stride is smooth and easy
Your touch
can always lead me
Off-route in pursuit
Of some long slow distance.
