Long Slow Distance
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.
