Middle Distance Runner Lyrics

Well, I'm so sad tonight
and the words won't come out right
It's been a long day on the track
and it's stamina that I lack

So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight we could pretend
that we're just lovers
But I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner

My heart is beating hard
and I'm off with a shot at the heart
and my legs tremble from strain
by the finish line I'm drained
So won't you run to me tonight?
Tonight let's not talk about next summer
because I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner

Well, I'm so proud tonight
of the woman you've become
and I'm just too tired to fight
so, my darling, I'll succumb.

But you'll have
to run to me tonight
because tonight
I will love you forever
But I'll only ever be
A middle distance runner.
