The Long Honeymoon

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighborhood gets quiet

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

There'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

There'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
