Came up through selectors Ticket on a page Older than your draining Younger than your age Fifteen miles at daybreak Impulse deep inside Shower and a rub-down And a quiet sense of pride But fame can take you far away from home The wind and rain they chill you to the bone A leader on the sports page And you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own Wasn't for the money, trophies or champagne A victory for the inner man An echo to your name A line bowled in the slipstream Shake a thousand hands A minute in the spotlight In a thousand foreign lands But fame can take you far away from home The roaring crowds they chill you to the bone A minute in the spotlight And you reap what you have sown And it's just another moment on your own Crowd declares a hero But heroes seldom last Your private life is front-page news Until your time has passed Jetlag in December Towels and Staminade Your name's up on the scoreboard And the ad's for aftershave 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 Fame can take you far away from home The roaring crowds they chill you to the bone A minute in the spotlight And 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
