  • Long Way Round by Rafferty Lyrics



    I stood and looked across the water,
    I had to get to the other side.
    Because I knew that you'd be waitin'
    I didn't want to take the long way 'round.

    The captain said the ship was leavin'
    And that we'd better get on board.
    I settled down to watch the sunrise
    And wondered if I'd see the sun go down.

    The sea was rough and the wind was howlin'
    But I was laughin' all the way.
    I didn't care about the weather,
    Because I knew that you'd be waitin'
    I didn't want to take the long way 'round.

    Then a stranger sat beside me,
    It was my brother in disguise.
    He said he knew where I was goin',
    He asked me why I took the long way 'round.

    The sea was rough and the wind was howlin',
    But I was laughing all the way.
    I didn't listen to the stranger,
    Because I knew that you'd be waitin'
    I didn't want to take the long way 'round.

    At last I came to my destination,
    The stranger turned and walked away.
    He didn't know where he was goin',
    He said he had to take the long way 'round.
