The Long Race lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Long Race lyrics B. R. Hornsby/Hohn Hornsby It s a hazy winter s day And I m staring out on the southland In the twilight distance on the bay My mind sees you running through the marshland All these years I ve been waiting for you Through the high tides and the low tides too But if I stop now how could I ever be with you? It s a long race If I try I will surely finish It s a long race If I try I will surely win it Some day some night with you There s a village on the lower Eastern Shore Where the watermen s boats are anchored And they work so hard all day long Showing me what you want to go after All these years I ve been pushing so hard Through the high times and the low times too But if I stop now How could I know what I could do? It s a long race If I try I will surely finish It s a long race If I try I will surely win it Some day some night with you song lyrics
