Races - Glen Hansard, Judy Collins

Well I win some races

That don’t mean I’m 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 waited

For me at the line

Cause for you I could win

For you I could trust myself

And for you I could throw with abandon

Old glories all feign 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 will win

For you I will trust myself

For you I should throw with abandon

Old glories are everything to the wind

Cause I never left you

And you never let me go

And I never left you

And you never let me go
