Marathon Man Songtext
von Eric Carmen

Twenty years with my brain in a book
Trying to find out who I am
Endless nights and Olympian dreams
Of a race I never ran

Someone′s calling my name (Someone's calling my name)
It′s the crowd in the stands (It's the crowd in the stands)
Don't know how I became what I suddenly am

Marathon man, keep running
Marathon man, keep running
I′ve been searching so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I′m a marathon man

Wind is gone and my head's in a haze
But I must keep up the pace
Got to think about strategy here
Give a hope to win the race


Someone′s calling my name (Someone's calling my name)
It′s the crowd in the stands (It's the crowd in the stands)
Got to stay on pace
What I suddenly become

Marathon man, keep running
Marathon man, keep running
I′ve been searching so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I'm a marathon man

Wasting my youth
Chasing dreams, testing truth
Taking turns being deceived and deceiving
Bound with a rope made of heroes and hope
'Til I found nothing left to believe in

Marathon man, keep running
Marathon man, keep running
I′ve been searching so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I′m a marathon man

I've been searching so long
But the answer is finally at hand
I′m a, I'm a marathon man
Marathon man
