Runner Lyrics

Runner lyrics

THE RUNNER
Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Through the night, through the
dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look back you've been
there
Feel the mist as your breath hits the air
And it's underneath the
moonlight
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a
drum

Through the night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is
born
Don't look back, you've been there
Feel the mist as your breath hits
the air
And it's underneath the moonlight
Passing some
Still your
heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you will run your
time
A shooting star across the sky
And you will surely cross the
line
To pass on the flame
Sun come up, sun go down
Hear the feet see
the sweat on the ground
Watch your step, keep your cool
Though you can't
see what's in front of you

And it's underneath the moonlight
Passing
some
Still your heart beats in the moonlight
Like a drum

And you
will run your time
A shooting star across the sky
And you will surely
cross the line
To pass on the flame
Pass on the flame
Through the
night, through the dawn
Behind you another runner is born
Don't look
back, you've been there
See the mist as your breath hits the air

And
it's underneath the moonlight
Passing some
Still your heart beats in the
moonlight
Like a drum
