Horslips Long Weekend
She's got another thing coming
If she thinks that he'll stay
He only met the girl the other day
And she told him he'd find work
If he stayed with her
But no work's come his way
He can't go on just living for today
He's a stranger to this city this country
And he's got too much to do
Has to move can't spend more time with you
He thinks that his leaving's due
He thinks their long weekend's through
Shout she cried
If the city is dust in your eyes
Phone she pleads
If the city is full of those street traffic sighs
In the cafe on the corner, she's sitting
Expecting him to show
While in her heart she knows he has to go
The other night she captured his attention
But now as planes fly by
He turns his face from her and stares at the sky
Confession time will make her sad
Can't help making her blue
Because he knows that their long weekend's through
He knows that his leaving's due
He knows their long weekend's through
Write she says
If you're needing a friend along the way
Come back some time
I've no reason to leave you know that I'll stay
In the cafe on the corner she's sitting
Hoping that he'll show
