Lyrics
Long Distance Runner
c 1973 by S. Walters, M. Hickman
Stood like a motionless dancer
In the wings before your last show
When you looked to me I couldn’t answer
As if I should already know
Chorus
You bowed as the curtain came closing
The dance left your heart on the stage
If a key I’d know I’d been holdin’
Well I guess I’d be gone anyway
Chorus
Bridge
What could I say, I’d found this new day
And sleep should come but
Losing races, Far empty places,
And lonely faces, did I see
Quietly you’ve come to seize me
Like a thief on the edge of the night
As for me I can’t say you’d be stealin’
Or what I was feelin’ was right
Chorus
But I swear to you now I still love you
Though you taught me to I never learned
Could you see when I tripped I came crawlin’
Out of Indian Summer, a long distance runner
Down a highway with no way to turn
Down a highway with no way to turn
