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
