Came up through selectors A tick upon a page Older than your training Younger than your age 15 miles at daybreak - an impulse deep inside A shower and rubdown and a quiet sense of pride Fame can take you far away from home The wind and rain they chill you to the bone A leader on the sports page, you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own It wasn't for the money, the trophies or champagne A victory for the inner man, an echo to your name A lineball in the slipstream, shake a thousand hands A minute in the spotlight in a thousand foreign lands And fame can take you far away from home The roaring crowd they chill you to the bone A minute in the spotlight, you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own The crowd declares a hero - but heroes seldom last Your private life is front-page news until your time has passed Jetlagged in December, towels and Staminade Your name's up on the scoreboard and the ad is for aftershave And fame can take you far away from home Long distance romance on a hotel phone And your old friends seem so distant and you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own. And fame can take you far away from home The roaring crowd they chill you to the bone A minute in the spotlight, you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own just another moment on your own just another moment on your own
