Hornsby Bruce The Long Race Lyrics

The 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 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?
