Long Race lyrics

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
