The Runner - Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Chris Thompson

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

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

Just 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

And you will run your time

A shooting star across the sky

And you will surely cross the line

(And you will run your time)

And it’s underneath the moonlight, passing some

(A shooting star across the sky)

Still your heart beats in the moonlight, like a drum

(And you will surely cross the line)

And you will run your time

(To pass on the flame)

A shooting star across the sky

(To pass on the flame)

And you will surely cross the line

(And you will run your time)

And it’s underneath the moonlight, passing some

(A shooting star across the sky)

Still your heart beats in the moonlight, like a drum

(And you will surely cross the line)

And you will run your time

A shooting star across the sky

And you will surely cross the line
