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

Manfred Mann were chart regulars in the 1960s, and the first south-of-England-based group to top the US Billboard Hot 100 during the British invasion. more »
