lirik lagu gerry rafferty - long way round
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.
