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
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
Caminho Longo
Eu fiquei parado olhando pra água
Eu tinha que chegar do outro lado
Porque eu sabia que você estaria esperando
Eu não queria fazer o caminho longo
O capitão disse que o barco ia zarpar
E que era melhor a gente embarcar
Eu me acomodei pra ver o sol nascer
E me perguntei se veria o sol se pôr
O mar estava agitado e o vento uivava
Mas eu não ia por outro caminho
Eu não me importava com o tempo
Porque eu sabia que você estaria esperando
Eu não queria fazer o caminho longo
Então um estranho sentou ao meu lado
Era meu irmão disfarçado
Ele disse que sabia pra onde eu ia
Me perguntou por que eu fiz o caminho longo
O mar estava agitado e o vento uivava
Mas eu não ia por outro caminho
Eu não ouvi o estranho
Porque eu sabia que você estaria esperando
Eu não queria fazer o caminho longo
Finalmente, cheguei ao meu destino
O estranho se virou e foi embora
Ele não sabia pra onde estava indo
Disse que tinha que fazer o caminho longo
Eu fiquei parado olhando pra água
Pensei no que deixei pra trás
Porque eu sabia que você estaria esperando
Eu não queria fazer o caminho longo
