Bruce Hornsby - The Long Race текст песни

B. r. hornsby/hohn hornsby

Its a hazy winters day

And Im staring out on the southland

In the twilight distance on the bay

My mind sees you running through the marshland

All these years Ive 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?

Its a long race

If I try I will surely finish

Its a long race

If I try I will surely win it

Some day some night with you

Theres a village on the lower eastern shore

Where the watermens boats are anchored

And they work so hard all day long

Showing me what you want to go after

All these years Ive 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?

Its a long race

If I try I will surely finish

Its a long race

If I try I will surely win it

Some day some night with you
