| Lyrics: | 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
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 |
