The Long Honeymoon — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right

But theres a wife whos 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 isnt old enought to speak



Theres been a long honeymoon

She thought too late and spoke too soon

Theres no money back guarantee on future happiness

Theres been a long honeymoon

If hes out on a date then her lifes 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 isnt in by ten shell call up her best friend

Why doesnt he come home

Why does her friends phone keep on ringing

Maybe she should just pretend



(chorus)
