The Long Way Round
She sat still upon the water
Like the dream of Neptune's daughter
As the sun breaks strong across horizon's line
In the stillnss of the mornin'
I can hear the distant callin'
That our fate will be delivered in due time
There's no sense to storm in now
I may take the long way round
As the mascot midday sleeps
The canvas snaps and sweeps
To catch the wind and bend to meet
The captain's will
Leanin' hard against the wheel
Nature's fury at our heels
At least, we know that we're not standing still
And there's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
Movin' right in storms
Asleep in doldrums' arms
Fightin' for to keep us all about
Double back, switch the trail
Keep the demons from our tails
And the course that I was lost has now been found
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
Like the dream of Neptune's daughter
As the sun breaks strong across horizon's line
In the stillnss of the mornin'
I can hear the distant callin'
That our fate will be delivered in due time
There's no sense to storm in now
I may take the long way round
As the mascot midday sleeps
The canvas snaps and sweeps
To catch the wind and bend to meet
The captain's will
Leanin' hard against the wheel
Nature's fury at our heels
At least, we know that we're not standing still
And there's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
Movin' right in storms
Asleep in doldrums' arms
Fightin' for to keep us all about
Double back, switch the trail
Keep the demons from our tails
And the course that I was lost has now been found
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
There's no sense to stoppin' now
But I may take the long way round
