The Long Honeymoon

All the bedroom lights go out

As the neighbourhood gets quiet

Everything in heaven and earth is almost right

But there's 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 isn't old enought 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



(chorus)
