The Long Honeymoon Lyrics by Elvis Costello

The Long Honeymoon Lyrics

    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)
