Artist/Band: Gerry Rafferty
Lyrics for Song: Long Way Round
Lyrics for Album: Can I Have My Money Back? [1971]



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 sun rise

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 laughin' 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 get 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
