Long Slow Distance Lyrics - Singles - Michael Franks

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.
