It was in the early morning on the phantom sea I spied Three burning merchant ships all sinking down into the tide I couldn't move a muscle till they sunk out of my view But don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you And while roaming in the ranges where the wild waters rise Something like a thunderbolt struck me between the eyes Don't ask me what it was, I don't really have a clue But don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you As I scrambled to my feet with my head still in a daze I stumbled on my way through the fog and rolling haze I wasn't feeling happy but nor was I feeling blue But don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you I wondered down the back roads that took me to the south With gravel in my boots and dust in my mouth I was weary I was lonesome I was not sure what to do But don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you I spent my days in digs singing dirges in the dark Gazing from my doorstep till the dogs all lost their back My friends they were not many but neither were they few Don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you There was only one I trusted for the rest seemed kind of sly I slept with one eye open not knowing what they might try I never heard them say a word that I thought to be true But don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you All the people that he'd met he remembered them by name But after years of moving their faces became the same The last I every saw of him as he sunk from my view Don't come to me I'm on the long way round to you So now I'm going back again I'll find my way back home I've done the rounds to many times for it to be unknown I may not know a lot but one thing I know is true You won't be waiting long now for me to come to you
