Genre:	Folk

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.

Get It Right Next Time "Get It Right Next Time Gerry Rafferty Out on the street I was talkin' to a man He said "there's so much of this life of mine that I don't understand"..."	Baker Street "Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well another crazy day You drink the night away..."
Moonlight And Gold "Moonlight and gold Midsummer magic when the night turns to day And songbirds greet the dawn You lie awake..."	Stuck In The Middle With You "Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs..."
Night Owl "Night comes down and finds you alone In a space and time of your own Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows Down the street the neon light shines..."	Waiting for the Day "Well here I am, back in town Just as the night is comin' down Warm wind blowin' through the trees I watch them swing, I watch them sway..."
Right Down the Line "You know I need your love, You got that hold over me Long as I got your love, You know that I'll never leave When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind And it's been you, woman, right down the line..."	Bring It All Home "I was lost on an endless sea Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea Sail with the wind, you weather the storm You bring it all home, bring it all home, you bring it all home...."
