Somewhere in a magazine I see her face In every story She's hidden in a page. It's most intriguing That's for sure Kinda like the freckles On a red haired girl. It takes a long slow distance And some paths aren't so kind It takes a long slow distance To leave some things behind. Every man's life's been touched By a girl like that A delicate face Smiling somewhere in the back. She seems approachable But then you get so shy When she pauses right before you And smiles into your eyes It's been a long slow distance And some paths weren't so kind It's been a long slow distance To leave some things behind. I was never equipped to be A center stage showman I never put my sights On a front page woman. Loud women make me nervous Party girls aren't my kind Just a simple beauty That's easy on my mind. I run a long slow distance Appreciating every breath I take I run a long slow distance Proud of every stride I make. I run a long slow distance With a song in my mind I run a long slow distance One step at a time.
