Long Honeymoon Lyrics

Mary Coughlan Long Honeymoon

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)
