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 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 |
