The Long Race — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby And The Range)

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 high tides and 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 lowTern Shore
Where the watermen`s boats are all 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 high times and low times too
But if I stop now
How could I know what I could do?
