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
