Long Way Round Lyrics

Rafferty Gerry
Can I Have My Money Back
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 waiting
I didn't want to take the long way round

The captain said the ship was leaving
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 howling
But I was ?letting no other? way
I didn't care about the weather
Because I knew that you'd be waiting
I didn't want to take the long way round

Then a stranger sat beside me
[ Rafferty Gerry Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
It was my brother in disguise
He said he knew where I was going
He asked me why I took the long way round

The sea was rough and the wind was howling
But I was ?letting no other? way
I didn't listen to the stranger
Because I knew that you'd be waiting
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 going
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 waiting
I didn't want to take the long way round
