Bruce Hornsby - The long race

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
