The Long Honeymoon lyrics
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight
And when the phone rang only once she took a dreadful fright
Little things just seem to undermine her confidence in him
He was late this time last week
Who can she turn to when the chance of coincidence is slim?
'Cause the baby isn't old enough to speak
It's been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
There's been a long honeymoon
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this
All the movies and the papers
Feature the murders of lonely women
If he isn't in by ten, she'll call up her best friend
Why doesn't he come home?
Why does her friends phone keep on ringing?
Maybe she should just pretend
It's been a long honeymoon
She thought too late and spoke too soon
There's no money back guarantee on future happiness
There's been a long honeymoon
If he's out on a date then her life's in ruins
She never thought her love could ever be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Be as strong as this
Everything in heaven and earth is almost right
But there's a wife who's wondering where her husband could be tonight
