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 onboard

I settled down to watch the sun rise

And wondered if I'd see the sun go down



The sea was rough and the wind was howling

But I was laughing all the 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 laughing all the 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 get 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

    Well another crazy day
    You drink the night away..."

    Down the street the neon light shines..."

    Just as the night is comin' down
    Warm wind blowin' through the trees
    I watch them swing, I watch them sway..."

    "You know I need your love, You got that hold over me

    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
