Marathon Lyrics

This marathon of hurdle hopping continues

Neverendingly it seems and there's no time

For stopping jumping because of aching knees

Or burning lungs or arrival of Spring

I noticed several laps ago

Caught a ladybug in flight it crawled out through

The gaps between my fingers held it up

Before my sweat-stung eyes until

The flake-like wings unfurled abruptly trapped it

Didn't mean to kill the thing

I didn't mean to kill the thing you see

But just then cleared a hurdle

Came down with a jolt

I thought the bug had disappeared

But found it in my palm all smeared

I didn't mean to kill the thing you see

But just then cleared a hurdle

Came down with a jolt

I thought the bug had disappeared

But found it in my palm all smeared

I thought the bug had disappeared

But found it in my palm all smeared

This marathon of hurdle hopping

Continues neverendingly

It seems and there's no time for stopping

Jumping cause of aching knees

Or burning lungs or arrival of

Spring I noticed several laps ago

Caught a ladybug in flight

It crawled out through the gaps

Between my fingers held it up

Before my sweat-stung eyes until

The flake-like wings unfurled abrupt-

ly trapped it didn't mean to kill

The thing you see but just then cleared

A hurdle came down with a jolt

I thought the bug had disappeared

But found it in my palm all smeared

I thought the bug had disappeared

But found it in my palm all smeared
