Don't Look Back
Interlude in Lifeline
Velvet fog
Velvet sky
Full moon glow
The sound of the runners feet pounding the track are the only disturbance in the soft gentle grey of the cool midnight mist.
Breathing evenly, head down, feet and arms moving, heart pounding.
Sweat beading, staining a shirt.
Mindless orbiting the track, but still mindful, sleep a distant memory.
Running to exhaustion is only one answer.
Pain of one type to replace another.
The Runner - Manfred Mann
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
