Song title Long Way Round
Artist Rafferty
i stood and looked across the water
i had to get to the other side
because i knew that youd be waitin
i didnt want to take the long way round
the captain said the ship was leavin
and that wed better get on board
i settled down to watch the sunrise
and wondered if id see the sun go down
the sea was rough and the wind was howlin
but i was laughin all the way
i didnt care about the weather
because i knew that youd be waitin
i didnt 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 didnt listen to the stranger
because i knew that youd be waitin
i didnt want to take the long way round
at last i came to my destination
the stranger turned and walked away
he didnt know where he was goin
he said he had to take the long way round
