Judy Collins - Races Lyrics

Judy Collins Lyrics

"Races"
(feat. Glen Hansard)

Well if I win some races
That don't mean I'm the fastest
And it don't mean I'm better than anyone

And I ride some horses
With great speed over courses
It's just 'cause you're here for me at the line

'Cause for you I could win
For you I could trust myself
For you I could throw with abandon
All glories and fame to the wind
'Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
Oh

And if I can have the glory
I'd give it up gladly
Oh how we sucked in the limelight
And left best friends behind

Will you come walk beside me
To the end of this story
And I'll let you go gently
Among your own kind, oh

For you I could win
For you I could trust myself
For you I could throw with abandon
Old glories, all fame to the wind
'Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
Oh

For you I could win
For you I will trust myself
For you I should throw with abandon
Old glories and everything to the wind

'Cause I never left you
And you never let me
Cause I never left you
And you never let me go
