Bruce Hornsby and the Range — 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 of these years I've been waiting for you Through high tides and the low tides too But if I stop now how could I ever be with you? (Woah) It's a long, long race If I try I will surely finish It's a long, long race (yeah) If I try I will surely win it One day, one 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 of these years I've been pushing so hard Through high tides and the low tides too But if I stop now how could I know what I could do? (Woah) It's a long, long race If I try I will surely finish It's a long, long race (Yes) If I try I will surely win it One day, one night with you All of these years I've been pushing so hard Through high tides and the low tides too But if I stop now how could I know what I could do? (Oh) It's a long, long race If I try I will surely finish It's a long, long race (yeah) If I try I will surely win it It's a long, long race (yes) If I try I will surely finish It's a long, long race (yeah) If I try I will surely win it One day, one night with you
