Gerry Rafferty - Long Way Round Lyrics

Send "Long Way Round" ringtone to your cell

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 laughing 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.

I stood and looked across the water

I thought of what i'd left behind

Because i knew that you'd be waitin'

I didn't want to take the long way 'round.

Because i knew that you'd be waitin'

I didn't want to take the long way 'round.
